Re: Are TDZs getting hard to find??

Re: Are TDZs getting hard to find??

Hey Brad

I consider myself really lucky... I found a brand new in box TD-Z 103H in Gatineau. I got it for $323 Canadian including sales tax (about $250 US).

I haven't used it yet but I'm sure it will be well worth it.

Good luck with the search! Hope you find one to your liking.

Re: edge first strike update

At Alex_Edge Can you provide us some details as to the difference in blank material from the kickstarter rods compared to the blanks being sold by dealers? I was under the assumption that the kickstarter rods were the first production run of the first strike rods, so was surprised to hear that the p...

Re: edge first strike update

Hey all I thought I would post this here as well the kickstarter page: Just a heads up to anyone that has been in communications with Gavin - he no longer works there...

Re: edge first strike update

So I called Edge to find out why the 3 and 4 powered rods were so different in line and lure rating when comparing the kickstarter (EFX) rods and the production (FS) rods. The blank is different. They both use IM graphite but the production line up uses a completely different blank then the kicksta...
