Well you are right. But once you get a couple of the different type rods you will get the hang of it. Allsorts guided me along the way for several purchases. Had I not had his help no telling what I would have bought. He is the most knowledgeable I know about JDM UL rods of all types. You now have a high rod in the TenRyu.....and I know you have others just not sure what all you have. But you have gone high end now.......and while you may be able to go back down to lower end it will be tough. I had always wanted an EverGreen but after hearing what Allsorts had to say about EverGreen UL rods after he purchased his first Graphiteleader I will probably never buy an EverGreen. One consideration you may want to look at is buying a TenRyu Lunakia from Chris. It is truly a cross between an ajing and a mebaru rod. Not too rigid...not too soft. It has impeccable build quality and is extremely sensitive. I don't fish mine as much as I would like...I have far too many rods....but it a fantastic rod. I would have already acquired another rod since I'm laid up but I so desperately want the Super Bellezza....but it costing 500 bucks is causing me to pucker a little...but I am sure I will get over it.....LOL.
