I hate to see the price, with the Japanese construction, torzites, etc.; but I can't wait to see this bad boy. Is it ICAST yet?

Probably will be north of $500 (as alluded to previously by the 13Fishing guys). I'm more than a little interested in this line of rods. (Also the US Warranty for it). If it has a strong warranty and fishes and handles as one would expect (Megabass/Evergreen performance) This could very well be the enthusiast rod to own.

Can't wait to see more info on this rod. If it is anything like the other 13 Fishing rods it should be amazing.

Any japanese made rod with torzite guides will likely be in that price range. It's a high end/flagship rod. Fair pricing imo.
For contrast- The new Abu fantasias are $500 and have alconite guides :roll:

I'm definitely interested in the archangel, especially seeing that pic with the full grip handle.
