There is a lot of GOOD inexpensive made overseas rods.
The thing is, if he (the original poster) is looking for the UPGRADE rod to hang onto for many years and maybe even pass it down, I personally would look AMERICAN MADE.
Something about an assembly line of people working for rice or minimum wage, not even knowing what the heck they are making, as opposed to, craftsmen/women that have been doing it for years and know what they are making.
Like I said, I have a TFO Pro and I use it often, but definitely no comparison to the Zero or the JWF (also 5 wts)
