I ordered a TH1085c, 9ft, 5 power, moderate action, Fuji guide, Fuji seat and Rainshadow blank. I should recieve it Thursday or Friday. I'm going to fish it Sat. and Sun. so I'll be able to post a first hand review. I bought one without ever seeing one, just by reputation only. I know that may have been foolish but after all the good things I've heard about them I figured that I couldn't go wrong. Small local custom shop's attention to detail, blank quality between GL3 and IMX, lifetime warranty, and strong components, shipped to your door for $185, something to think about huh?
