Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these? Good write up in Infisherman Gear Guide and made in America!

I'm guessing there's not a lot on these rods out there, as they are only sold in one store, in limited numbers. The whole thing about the reel seat being moved further towards the butt on the blank kind of throws me off. Not sure that's always a good thing.

I spoke with them at the Long Beach show and what I gathered in just talking to the owner is he will build you whatever you want and whatever specs and colors you want. The rods felt nice but it is very hard to have someone build you something unless you absolutely know what you want. I worked with another company to design rods and we went through about 5 prototypes before I got the look and feel I wanted.

I can say the graphics he does are really nice and the rods felt pretty nice as well.
