Anyone waved one of these things around? Just heard about 'em. Looks like they are based out of Ohio and have fairly limited selection. Pretty spendy for a newcomer.

That's pretty damn expensive for what looks to be a rebranded ST. Croix.

It's really easy to start a rod company these days as long as you have a few bucks and are missing a few brain cells. There's so many companies willing to do private label for you, usually just have to order in quantities anywhere from 100-1000 per sku adn they'll throw anything you want on it. Seeing as how they have 6 sku's total (LOL!) these guys didn't want to invest too much so I'd hesitate to spend 6+ bills with a company that appears to not want to fully commit.

I am right there with you. Didn't find anything on their site that would sell me something different. Their sticks are prolly fine but I'd bet they are run of the mill type stuff with a huge price tag.

Could be totally mistaken tho!
