They used to be a fairly prominent line. Not a SAGE/Winston, but they had a good product. Then a few years ago they decided to focus on the "green menace/NASCAR" crowd and pretty much abandoned us fly fishers in favor of those guys in funny clown suits.

Average product at best now, and the dealer service is poor. I know of at least one shop that is unhappy they ever brought the line back in.

I own two of them but they are from the older generation of fly rods. Don't know about the new ones out but if you can get your hands on the older brownish looking rod models, I've had no problems with mine. Hope this helps. Jeff
