I would suggest a rod be purchased in Asia, if you bust it you're
probably going to have to ship it somewhere and that could take some

do anything less. Some folks like the Old Florida line of Reels but
someone I trust very much in the salt water fly fishing community told
me to stay away from them.



The Lamson Velocity and Lightspeeds are somewhat
cheaper and work just fine.

The velocity and lightspeeds may *work just fine* but given the problems
with the LP series post takeover and the ultra lightness of the reels, the
Ross Canyon higher price is probably worth it and they are a heck of lot
more solid than the Lamsons. IMO, waterworks ought to put lamson to bed.
