No, it is not a good thing , all of us current reps will be replaced, just like a typical corporate buyout. Its to bad, but they made Brett an offer he could not refuse so you can't blame the guy. The reason they bought Allstar is they wanted to have a high end rod that was made in the U.S.A. in there fold. Since all the other stuff they make is made in China and is Junk.
The Titaniums are in some stores now, those that have ordered them, if your favorite store hasn't ask them to order you one and we will get it handeld.
All I hope is that they keep the factory in Houston and dont box it up and send it overseas like alot of other rod companies have.

Peace
