Are 2 Rods really better than 1?

[fish4942]

So I had my mind made up that the Vendetta was going to be my next rod. I get $10 of the $80 price tag so I can pick it up for $70. But then I was doing some crappie fishing and decided to take my spinning reel with my 7’ rod that I usually us for bass fishing out on the trip. Keep in mind that my other crappie rods 6’0 & 6’6” range. With this seven footer I was able to drop my jig and slip bobber in places that I never thought about trying before. I was pitching under low hanging branches, in between branches and limbs in the water, over obstacles that I would normally avoid. It just so happen that I have a Pflueger President that I need a rod for to add to my crappie arsenal. So as luck would have it I receive a coupon from Cabelas for buy 1 Tourney Trail rod get one free good thru this weekend May 15th. So I can get 2 Tourney Trails for $60. I already have one 6’6” on my Shimanno Sedona which is my main crappie setup. But now I’m torn because that Vendettas has been on my “to get” list for a while. But it’ll be awfully hard to pass up on the 2 Tourney Trails at that price.

So what better place to help me decide than here with my fellow anglers and gear *****s (no offense, just accept it).
Speak on it my brethren!
