The main reason you need a new rod is, The tackle stores would all close up if you don't keep buying them !!
I past the due I need new rod threshold a long time ago I have around 65 rods in the arsenal and will buy another one if he price is right. I could start a tackle store if I wanted. The honest answer is ask yourself how many times have you wished for 12ft jigging rod while fishing. If the answer is more than three the need to buy another rod.

You can always come up with a reason why you need a new rod but the real reason is that you want one.. That always works for me...

All my rods are 10, 11, 12 ,, and have at least a Dozen, But I can fish with only three Max because the Boat is Stick Steering. where you use little poles the only place I can use a small one is under bridges.. I have the choice of another Dozen to find one for shooting docks, but only one for Shooting and an extra in case something gets Broke.. Have you ever reached the tip of the pole down in the water to unhang a Jig hung up on a log or limb ??? longer poles will save you Tackle and time fishing... Ever been tying a new rig to look up just in time to see you Missed that fish that slapped the tip of the pole in the water ---

I got two new rods. One because I have an old reel I've never used sitting in a Drawer. The other for a new reel I bought just to try out. Well now I need another new one. I took that old reel I never used off and put on a Daiwa reel that read's out depth, It was just sitting in the same drawer. Now, it's leaning up against the wall in the bedroom with all my other's waiting to be used! And one of these days I just might get around to it! I don't have collection's like most people, maybe 10 or 15 rod's and reels and only a few I use much! All my rod's are inexpensive. Two new one are Berkley Cherrywood's I got off Amazon for $18 ea. They have all the eyelet's, a reel seat and seem to work alright. With luck one will break and I'll need to buy another new rod I really don't need!
I use pro angler rods and BnM also but pro angler mostly trolling or spider rigging wife got 6'6 i got 8 2 12 ft and 2 14 ft .if you brake it you can but that section also free shipping on all rods
