I have been wondering the same thing. I have seen them and they look like good rods. I'd like to know too.

Im not sure, but i did get some junk mail today from them. not sure how they got my address.

I have about 4 or 5. They are light weight, sensitive and well made. I like them.

If you do a search you will find several posts on this subject.

I have 2 of them. I received a ad in the mail a few years back about them. Checked them out online. Looked pretty good. I emailed the owner, they are based in Irving asking if it is possible to stop by and check them out. I do not want to buy something without seeing it in person first. he said to come on out. A buddy and I went and checked them out. Nice rods. Not heavy at all. I have a G Loomis GLX and IMX and the weight of the Acadia is compareable to them. They are 7 foot, medium/heavy. To save on shipping you can purchase them as well at the shop if you go. The ones I have are the I believe $79 for 2 rods.

A few folks in The Colony Bass Club have them.

Well, since I work about 1/2 mile from them, I checked them out at lunch today. They are packed to the gills with rods, reels, and crank baits. P and F series rods, 2 fur 1 $75 & $50 respectively. Some nice feeling spinning and bait casting reels, $50 & $64 respectively. Big selection of crank/swim baits, 6 for $19, mix or match plus case. Havent used any of them yet, but to get 2 MH rods plus 2 large spinning reels for $75 each setup (2 rods/$50, 2 reels $100), sounds like a nice deal.

have a spinning and a bait cast, both are very sensitive, constructed well. would definitely purchase again.

I know a few users and for a good solid middle of the road rod....they are all that.

Does anyone know exactly where they are located? I went to their address they have on their website and didn't see their business anywhere? Thanks

It is hidden and a little difficult to find. Go east on Gateway from either Beltine or where it crosses the access road for 161. First light east of 161 is Corporate, take right (Bank on corner). The road will deadend in a circle with Siemans at the end. About 10 oclock on the cirle there is a parking lot entrance for a line of one level buildings on your left. Enter there and Acadia Sports is the last office before the parking lot makes a sharp turn to the left. *** they are only open during the week ***

Let me know what you think, curious for other opinions.
