Are we at the top?

I just recieved my recent copy of the Texas Saltwater Fishing magazine. They have an article named "Its the little things" which references the line, rods, bait, etc,etc. They make an interested comment: They claim their rods are " made of the highest quality materials that exist on the planet. Even the High end custom rod builders can't find better materials." Trying to understand if this statement puts custom rod builders at the top or elsewhere, Just thought it was interesting. Have a Great Memorial day.

I just wish that the wind would die down some so I could fish my old IM6's.

They are implying that high end custom rods are at the top, and their rods are made from materials that are as good or better. Which may simply be a marketing ploy. Either way, it's nice that they even mentioned custom rod builders. Remember the adage - "Any talk is good talk, just as long as they're talking!"
