Not my photo, but I absolutely will not buy a fishing pole unless it has cork grips, (I guess saltwater poles would be excluded from the rule)
I love my childhood Shakespeare look, and any similar style of full cork handle, black rod with rainbow shiny text/ lettering.
Also, do visual aesthetics matter a lot to you for a pole? Or just the performance, action, quality of it?
I will say appearance matters quite a bit. I can't stand the look of a foam handle. Or those weird off-black, grey, or yellow poles.
Also love gold on reels, makes me think of Leupold.
