Shimano and Scott are both leading brands in the fishing rod industry. Shimano offers rods that range in price from budget-friendly $50 to $700 and their selection includes both spinning and casting rods in various lengths of 4 to 10 feet. Their rods vary in weight from ultra-light to heavy and action from slow to extra fast. This makes it easy for anglers to find something that is perfect for their needs. Scott rods are usually more expensive, ranging from $400 to $1,200 or more. This rod is usually 7-9 feet in length and has a medium to heavy power rating with a fast to extra fast action. This is the perfect choice for an experienced angler who wants a balance between power and sensitivity. The rod is lightweight and maneuverable yet still has the power and accuracy for catching big fish.
