You just have to be roommates in college with the guy that gets a job with the corporate office designing fishing rods. I am already out of college!!

If you get what you pay for then LTAs and carrot sux shouldnt shatter on 2 pounders. The fact is it is difficult to build a super lightweight rod that wont break. THey have to build the blank thin to get the weight down. The difference is Academy stands behind all the products they carry without a $75 warranty like Kistler.

i work for academy and they havent said amything Do they normally give you notice? I regularly ask Academy employees about sales or when an item might be coming in. The answer I always get is: "I don't know. They don't tell us anything."

There are already a couple of threads running about these rods in the Bass Fishing Forum - Last I read is they should be showing up at Academy in March - The dudes that claim to be testing them give them good reviews but check it out for yourself.

Sounds great, cant wait to get my hands on one. With Academy's all over the state if you break one at a tournament or something it shouldn't be any problem finding a place to exchange it.

i have a friend who was involved in the testing of these rods. He has been testing the prototypes for about 6 months and really likes them. Actions are right, great components, and a strong blank at a great value. I heard the same thing, $59.99 so I will be looking for them in the Academy stores later this spring.  I'm confused, but thats nothing new
you know, nothing wrong with seven men who met on the internet going for a swim together
