Anyone familiar with them? I have bought 2 adg 6/7/8 reels (retail
$240), a adg titanium 7/8 rod (retail $900,), adg custom sized weighters
(retail $329)


Not to be contrary, but since you have bought 2 reels, one rod, and waders
(not sure I want to be wading a big bruising river wearing weighters)
obviously you liked them and said such. What does it matter what the rest of
us think of them? and why should you care if we like them or not.

Assuming you came by the money legally, and did not use the mortgage or
grocery money to buy the stuff, your use of the stuff and what you paid for
it are your own business.

Warranties change from lots of companies. If one business model doesn't
work and then you try something else or close. Personally, IMO, any
"uncoditional" warranty involving anything more than a shipping charge is
not an unconditional warranty. Regardless you can run your reel over with a
truck and still get a new one for $9, $49, or $100. Seems to me you still
come out a head.

While it doesn' t mean anything, I've not heard of adg products except here.
But allow me to give you your first economics lesson. If your retail $900
rod, sells for $450, then bubba your rod retails for $450.

who can see a $900 rod, if made by a master like Tom Morgan or if the blank
consist of Tonkin Cane.
