    I paid around 19.00 for 12's and 14.00 for 10' poles. So these are decent prices.

    I have since replaced these with other higher quality poles, but these were OK. Eventually all of these poles broke off tips (a few times) and rod sections to replace the tips were not to be found.

    Monk, the price is cheap, but is there anyone out there who would provide a top section for a 10' or 12' rod? The manufacturer will just kind of snicker at you.

    When i "downgraded" rods and went to the silstar last year during the winter I got the 12's. Every one fo them has held up for a year and they are extremely good for the price. i got mine from Monk.

    Buddy of mine order a couple of these from Monk last year. The price makes them perfect for anybody just starting out spider-rigging, you can't really beat them.
