Looking to buy a quality 1 piece 9ft estuary rod I've heard good things about Gary Howard rods such as them being very long lasting and very well built rods however I know that Snyder glas rods have been around a long time and have build up a good reputation as quality rods . Has anyone used one or both of them and could tell me which is better , I know a lot of anglers have their own preference on one or the other but I just want a good quality rod that will last a long time and can withstand all the sand, mud, dirt, fish guts and saltwater that it may and probably will come into contact with Thanks Sam
