Good money on a rod

[Justfishin73]

Good morning all.

Stellar weekend, still wish I was out there. Fantastic father’s day---nailed 80 with the boy, 6 doublr headers, just awesome day.

Boy broke a rod on a massive walleye, and I broke one on a huge jack. I typically use $60-100 rods. I primarily fish walleye, some jack, but of course have dedicated rods for each. For walleye, love the feel of the light rod, but they have had a tendency to snap. Getting ready to hopefully not drop more than $200-$250 on a good rod. My question is, is it worth it, will they fare that much better, or I am just better to get a medium –light and give up on the light rods?
