I'm looking for a BIFL-quality rod and reel. Where is the point of diminishing returns regarding price vs. quality? I posted last month asking for recommendations on a $150 setup. Several members provided helpful advice for gear in that range, and I appreciate the support, but I've decided I want to invest in a proper setup. I had never really looked at the price of high quality gear and realized that there is probably a higher threshold. I don't really know how to begin doing research myself so I'm hoping people can provide more insight.
Thanks!
