OK, I ove watching "The Water Channel" (217 on DishNetwork) and
tonight they had some big "Bluewater Battle wagon" Out trolling for
Blue Marlin.

I was watching these people who pay a kings ransom to go do some heavy
duty catching, and they had these very large, black (carbon graphite?)
rods, whith large gold colored reels. About as big as a medium-sized
coffe can.

The only thig I've really ever used to fish with, was the Zebco 202 kit
that my Grandpa bought for me for my 8th birthday.

Obvious comparisons are similar to a Yugo to a Rolls Royce.

I know different items draw different pricing, but on about an average,
what does one of those fishing rigs cost? I know it's more than a
buck-49.
