i just found another set of aluminum rods on here.saying they are new never used for $450.00 they are venolia brand...are they any good? also how do you feel about me keeping the new steel rods i have or should i sell and go with aluminum rods?i was told i should only use aluminum rods with a blower engine..my first blower engine so new with them.
