No, they were definitely willing to talk about the various blanks and answer my silly questions. I didn't feel like they were trying to be evasive or anything.
Wanted the SW1088 because it seems to be the favorite of a lot of guys here. I don't know that I've developed enough feeling yet to understand the subtleties between similarly rated rods, but I know that the 9 ft 2-6 oz rated Tica I've been using feels like too much rod for some of the smaller stuff I sometimes throw. This 1088 seems to fit the bill a lot better.
