I have plenty of arid-x and procyon that are MH to H and really wanted something lighter and shorter for some of my other stuff. Not really sure what the difference is between the HD rods and the EVO's they are at the same price point, I know a lot of folks like the HD rods but haven't seen much out there on the EVO's but heck for $32ea not sure there will be anything better for $32, lol. I usually can get the diawa arid-x from academy with a coupon for $40 and this looks on par if not better. I really like the full cork handles, wish I could have picked up more but I also got a couple abu vengence spinning rods which were even cheaper.
I picked up 2 VFC-4-166, medium, moderate 6'6" rods and the one VFC-5-168, medium heavy, medium fast 6'8". Again they had a bunch of them and man was I tempted but Walmart also had some reels on clearance like Shimano Nexave Spinning reels for $20 and some other stuff. I think I bought 6 rods and 4 reels, lol.
