Owning a reel that is $799.00, is this a status symbol or am I just cheap. I guess the bottom line is you don't have to break the bank to catch fish, regularly. I fish with Berkly Cherrywood rods and can buy many for the price of an expensive rod. I can snap the tip on a $20.00 rod just as easy as an expensive one. I hope this doesn't make me a cheap skate. Then again, maybe it does!!!!!!!! Crappie1133
