Default POLL: Integrity of March Brown Travel FLy Rods


They are honest? A few years ago there was a web site

'www.travelrods.com' (http://tinyurl.com/2lzsfz)
It rated tfo, march brown, sage xp, winston, plus a few other. Sage xp
and winston got about a 2 or 3 out of 5. March Brown got a 5 out 5.
Remember a sage xp got only like a 2 or a 3. Someone here looked up
the owner of the website and it was ownded by .... guess who?? the
same person who owned march brown.


Does this seem like a honest company to you?


Your logic is flawed. First, if you're manufacturing a product, are
you going to rate the competitors product better? Why would any
company do that? Can you imagine walking into the Orvis store and them
telling you, "Our rods are good but let me tell yah, go across the
street and pick up a Sage". Of course not. Any rod company, not just
March Brown, is going to promote their rods as being the best. And if
they're not promoting their product as being the best, who's going to
want it? If you're selling a product that you have no confidence in,
you need to start selling a different product.

Second... The review is only as good as the person typing it. The
person typing it may think Sage rods suck (I happen to love Sage). To
each his/her own, right? It's a free country. If the person writing
the review thinks the March Brown rod is better, then maybe the rod is
better for that person (or maybe they just don't know what a real rod
feels like). Either way, they are entitled to their opinions. You
should go try a March Brown rod. You might find that you love them or
hate them, but at least give any company a fair shake before calling
them liars.

If you're so confident about the rod you fish, start your own website
and push the rod. Hell, you might find that people hate whatever rod
you're using; then again, you'll also find some who share your
thoughts.

Food for thought....
