Hi Zach and others,
My problem with these “shoot-outs” is that they try to quantify their opinions. If they only left out the numbers (which aren’t reproducible anyway), and listed the rods and reels from most to least favoured by the experts, it would be completely clear that it’s about opinions. Applying numbers implies it’s science, and it’s a very long way from that.
The current format of these shoot-outs reduces the credibility of the company and I would never buy anything from them. I simply don’t trust them.
Cheers,
Graeme
