No, that's not safe to assume. Ask Fortenberry.



Or better yet refer to Timmay's acronym page.

The short story is this:

Cabelas came out with the moderately priced Three Forks rods
which were manufactured in Korea and they were an immediate
hit on roff, practically everyone raved about them. I had an
opportunity to cast one and promptly labeled it a Korean
piece of ****, hence shortened to KPOS. I don't believe anyone
has changed their mind, most here still think the Cabelas
Three Forks is a good rod for the money and I still think it's
a KPOS.

No offense to Koreans intended.


I think that FOR THE MONEY the KPOS is a decent rod. I bought one for my
daughter. (She never fished again after the first trout she caught was
hooked in the eye -- grossed her out.)

I used the rod occasionally and thought it was OK, but I haven't even
seen it in years.

For trout fishing I use my Sage SP 5wt about 95% of the time.
