Is anyone familiar with this company's rod making?
And the advertising they are doing?
Has anyone tried these out?
Will be interesting to hear what the rest of you have to say.

I looked at them last year. Kinda average quality parts for the way above average price. I passed on them. Bought Falcons for less (way less). Buying 30-36 rods at a time, I saved almost $2000 for the same basic stuff.

Have a friend who bought one. I played with it for a little bit. Their claim that its 2X more sensitive than high end competitive rods is a joke, not even close to a NRX or GLX. He basically paid $299 for a $199 rod IMO.

I heard the same by someone that tested one out and said they are nowhere near as sensitive as they claim to be. Interesting they never say what brands of higher end rods that theirs is "supposed" to be more sensitive than.

I don't think any rod out there can be twice the sensitivity of an NRX.

Used a 7’ medium heavy for the first time today. It’s the $200 model and I can say it’s lighter and more sensitive than any other rods I have in that price range. That being said I don’t own any rods over $250. I guess time will tell how durable it is.


Tight lines and God bless.
