I sure do like the Daiwa products that are made in/associated with
Scotland. Why they don't bring them into the U.S. in a more organized
fashion is beyond me. Are they easier to find in Canada? Have I asked
this question before (Oldtimers Disease may be creeping up on me)?

g.c.

George, I order my Daiwa stuff from the UK. I usually get it faster
than I'd get a similar product from the US. Plus, UK retaillers are
aggressive discounters and we don't pay the VAT. My Lochmor X spey
rod has a MSRP of £190.00 but they were recently on sale for £109.00.
Remove the 17.5% VAT and you're down to £90.00. At current to USD
from GBP rate, that's $170.00 for an excellent spey rod that's better
than many that sell at four or five times the price.
