You do not fish lakes? Casting distance makes a lot of difference and if you cast farther all day, you will catch more fish. A lot more fish. The better rod and line will make a difference. Better rods and lines cost more. If you can't afford top line rods, build from blanks saving 50% or buy used.
The difference on flowing water is less, but better rods can put the fly into more places. I test cast Pieroway at the last show and nothing special about their rods other than the bling which I don't want.
