Just remember there is a reason they are selling at this price.
It will be a Clearance item probably w/ no warrenty once they sell out.
Check w/ acadamey for warrenty info???

They're real light and sensitive, but prone to breaking

I have an older one. I bought it because I got a smoking deal and planned on selling it. I ended up liking it.....I still use it often.

Please guys unless you're fishing for Bream, don't buy this crap. Had two of em. Bought from two different stores and both broke. One on a 16" red and one for no apparent reason on a cast. Junk!!!!

I just called the warranty dpt... 4 straight days with no answer. They inform me that the model I bought is no longer available... hmmm is it because it sucked arse??? then the lady informs me that the COMPANY... which whom builds these rods are out of stock of the equivalent Gold Series 7 foot model. What they had available was 6'6 and 7'6..... uuummm go build some more. then she tells me she doesnt know when the next shipment will be in and there is a 40$ shipping and handling fee. Soo i will be out a rod for how many days??? Called the warranty dept another 3 times and NO answer.... I see micro guides in the future.
