Yes, I agree. #1 what feels good to you and #2 what gets the job done.

I have rods that cost $200+ but my two atf's are a $59 ugly stick spinning rod and a $99 bps carbonlite casting rod. Both are well balanced with a particular reel I have, they feel good in my hand, they get the job done and I don't worry too much about accidently kicking them off the deck or stepping on a line guide. Yes boys, go ahead and admit it, we've all done that.
