Bill states that anyone with a bit of money can get into the rod business.
In the recent article in Fly Fish America about rods costing less than $300,
there are 42 companies listed that offer rods in this price range.

Have you heard of , or seen, these lines of rods?

With the decline in the fly fishing market, I'm surprised to see so many
new rod companies. My guess is that they're all importing rods at a very
cheap price and even on a rod retailing less than $300, their profit
margin is very good. I also think that most won't last.
