Don't know if anybody noticed but Gander Mtn. Has their Vortex 6'6" MH rods marked down to $14.99 from $60.00. I've never used one and couldn't find a whole lot of reviews on them but picked one up anyways. Anybody used these rods before?

I have a GM Elite rod ive had since thanksgiving (got it for 69 on black friday). This rod is really good, its a little heavier than i expected but could be cause i got the 7ft MH. The sensitivity is great and the rod looks just like an Omen. Im soley basing my opinion on the elite , but i would definately buy one for 15. It made me a believer in the GM brand.

Took mine out for the first time in a tournament yesterday. The cork hand separated from the rod. Looks like the glue didn't take. Really wasn't a big deal, I was still able to fish. Gonna take it back and see if they will replace it, if not I'll probably just re-glue it. Other than that the rod was fine.

Gander replaced it for me. Like to see that they stand behind their product.
