That's a default price, not the msrp. From what I've heard, the actual price is tbd.

For that kind of money I'd just have a custom wrapped with the same guides on an nfc high mod.

I can see that, especially since (according to 13 fishing) this rod is supposed to rival many of the high end JDM rods in performance. Anybody got a picture of the handle and reel seat on this thing?

Just watched that video as well.

The rods are very JDM-ish and it really looks as though 13 payed attention (to TTF) and did their homework on this rod. It will be interesting to hear how this rod compares to the NRX and even phoenix k2 rods. I'm drooling at the thought of one of these paired with a '14 conquest 101 or 13 KP. =P~ =P~

I heard no set pricing yet, but would fall between $550 and $650. Guess we will find out when we find out. :D

How come 13 can come into the market in 2 years and do this kind of damage, but we are still waiting on the Zayta?

Better business plan. Or bigger balls... Whatever it is it's working and they are taking the market by storm. Who else has ever done this?
