Shad Rap Elite vs Camping World Ugly Stik Complete Spinning Kit: which is safer?

Where these two actually differ

• We flag Wood degradation and splinter risk, Plastic lip integrity and microplastic shedding, Metal hardware corrosion and rust and Mold or bacterial growth on wood on the Rapala and not on the Ugly Stik.
• We flag Fiberglass splinters from rod degradation, Plastic reel microplastics from wear and Bacterial growth in reel housing if wet and unmaintained on the Ugly Stik and not on the Rapala.
• The Rapala is Balsa wood body with plastic components where the Ugly Stik is Fiberglass rod, plastic reel, rubber grip, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
• These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.
