These guys are from Mass. Apparently the boss is a former prep school classmate of mine. Haven't spoke in 30 years and wouldn't have if not for a reunion I couldn't have attended anyway. He told me they are not yet ready for a set of Surf oriented rods at this time but that there may be afew cross overs within the spinning, and possibly other classes. There casting group all looks like boat rods to me. Let me know what you think board. It could be invaluable feedback, wright or wrong. I'm really curious if anybody has one already, don't know how old this manufacturer is. I told him to send all the demo rods he has!
