For the 99$, go with the Clarus. It is a little top heavy, but has a lifetime warranty and will handle anything you may hook into, including kings. I have fished one (13') for a year know and I am very happy with my purchase. Sure Raven, g- Loomis make a good rod, but I can't justify that kind of $ when the Clarus is a fine stick that gets the job done.
