I would suggest a rod be purchased in Asia, if you bust it you're
probably going to have to ship it somewhere and that could take some

someone I trust very much in the salt water fly fishing community told
me to stay away from them.


The Lamson Velocity and Lightspeeds are somewhat
cheaper and work just fine.
