As I've hinted here before, I've actually had advance samples of these rods for about three weeks now...I just wasn't allowed to talk about them...so maybe that reaction above is a little staged. But first impressions are that these rods are pretty freakin' cool. They both are "Triple Zoom" rods that can be fished at three different lengths, and also have a patent pending cap storage system...but more on that in a bit.
