The better analogy would be using a 303 brit at 1000 meters, with iron sights versus a modern precision cartridge and top notch optics.

People don't want hear that the ugly stick is a POS ..... I get it ......... but it's stlll a cheap POS compared to more modern materials in more modern rod manufacturing .......... there is no comparison. There isn't.

We all need to admit it's not the pants that make your butt look big ...... it's the butt.

This may not matter if you are chucking spoons for Pike, but may be critical when finesse fishing for whites, walleye or trout.

Just the same as you are bush hunting at 100 yards for a deer - the 303 will do the job just as well.

Depends on what you need your rod to do.

some like a little junk in the trunk.....it too gets results.
