I recently took a long hard look at my Helios, T&T, and TFO dc, switch rods. Took them out on the lawn, lined them up side by side and I honestly can't tell the difference between them other than the T&T being longer and the cork on each may be preferable to some. I havent had them all on the water yet. I know the T&T will throw more weight but I'm wondering if I have too many trout rods and what I'm paying for.
I love the TFO DC and I love the Helios but the difference is trivial to me. The weight difference is barely noticeable and both have great aesthetics as far I'm concerned. I don't see either cork lasting longer than the other. One is $1000 and the other $350 and to be quite frank if I didn't know anything about rods I wouldn't be able to tell you which was suppose to be more pricey and why
Aside from small custom builders (Meiser, burk, Anderson, etc), what are we paying for? Sure I like the Orvis being from vermont but 3x times as much? Neither one will catch fish better than the other, that's up to me.
Just a thought . . .
