B-bouncer,

It's funny you mention that cause I was just there. I bought 2 (I couldn't resist getting one for myself) GL4 ST1025 for $82 each. Incredible. Why would anyone buy a rod off the shelf when they can get these kinds of deals. Reel Truth, forget your expensive rods arguement, check out D&E!!!
A little work and a chance to be creative and make the exact rod that you want is not a hassle to me, it's an opportunity!! Maybe this is one of those best kept secrets of the S&S Forum that I just stumbled upon!! The word is out guys better stock up before they're gone.
