Yeah I was thinking that they underestimated the Fantasista line and now they are trying to capitalize on the success

No Sir
I didn’t. I really like the JDM rod I had gotten but I also really really like the dead sword. I think I’m looking for something to scratch my itch but I’m looking to reorganize everything and have been splitting up my gear between what I will keep and what I will give away. Hard to give away a rod and the person in receipt of it complains complains complains.

It’s a nice looking stick for sure but as of right now it’s get everything out of the closets and all other hiding spots and let it go.

I'm on the fence myself. Too many rods to be discovered.

I have a few of these now. Just received them, and initial impression was that they are keepers. Blanks are very crispy. I haven't weighed them, but another poster on BR weighed the 7'2"H at 4.9oz w/tags still attached. The heavy is STOUT, but not too stiff. The 7' MH is a gem, and floats in your hand with an excellently fast (nearly x-fast) taper. The ML casting and spinning rods are dope, and don't share the same blank. ML casting has 852 nrx power, and the ml spinning has the perfect power/taper for drop shot or any lighter duty stuff. It is the best feeling ml spinning rod I've handled in regards to power/taper. I'll refresh this once I get to fish them. I purchased the 7'MH spinning rod, but they sent me the wrong rod, so it'll.be a bit before I can comment.

Wow, the specs and preliminary info on these rods makes them very competitive at this price point...just need to expand their lineup.
