WHERE IS THE TATULA! !!!! Retail 150 and can be had for about 100. This is like Jordan not being in the conversation for the Top 5 players of all time.

I love my Zodias Rod 1610ML , had a nice deal on it, landed by surprise a nice 8 pounds pike that was boat frenzy with my zodias albebaran combo, I loosen the drag to make sure that I didnt snap it because I would had to deal with shimano america for an asian broken rod...
I REALLY love shimano stuff, all my reels are shimano, but mewh...

I like the kinda glass x wrap finish, the aesthetically look that suit perfectly with my aldebaran, but I am quite sad that a china made rod can beat thoses Us mades rod...

Theses rods are 250$ +tx here in canada, I pay my 13 fishing omen gen 1 somewhere around 120.tx inclueded ( btw I would like to trade in to try gen 2 ). So if I make an objective comparison, for half the price, and a nice cork finish ( that foam cannot beat that sweet cork handle), for a versatile setup the omen wins hand down!

=; ... X2 !

I voted for the Zodias only because the Tatula wasn't in the list and chose from what was available.

And yes I own both.

No joke. That's a major oversight.

Not enough folks know about them yet, but Hammer Rods are easily in my "best of the best" under $200. With the "TT10" discount code good for 10% off, free shipping, and no sales tax outside Alabama, they are an incredible value.

Kistler KLX could be on the list too.

Don't own any on the list but I'd go Zodias because they're damn sexy and those 7'6 glass and 7'5 flip frog models are tight

I voted 13 Omen BLack for around $100.00 bucks and Zodias in the $200.00 range, but the Levantes also belong in the $200.00 range as well.
