What makes your rod company differ from other mainstream companies and being a new company why the high price for an unproven product?

All about that blank. Manufacturing process, materials used including graphite materials and how they are rolled, where on the blank they are utilized, etc.

Is this rod big enough to impress the ladies?

What is your warranty policy (including whether you will reimburse customer shipping within the warranty period if a returned broken rod is determined to have had a factory defect)?

My first question would be, "Did you think this through?". Brian.
Are you fishing or aimlessly casting around?

+1 For questions on the blank. Are you sourcing your blanks from somewhere or are they rolled in house?Hogsticker2 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 17, 2023 7:55 pmAll about that blank.

Re: What Questions would you have for a new rod company
Mine would be:
Why are you using any handle product other than cork?
Why are you making split grips only?
Why would you consider using any other components but Fuji?

I'm addition...since I have seen so many promising and excellent American rod/blank companies go belly up or become not even a shadow of what they originally were, to include Warrior Rods, Shikari, All-Star, Castaway, Rogue...
What is your intended time frame for existence and legacy? What do you have built into your business strategy and assets, that will assure and ensure that you will be viable and competitive in the market for more than just a few years?
Also, do you intend to keep your products at the same level or better, and have a culture of continued growth and advancement, or will your company go the route of high volume sales by cheapening your product after the initial first few years have allowed you to gain a following?
