lurtch, I get the feeling you don't like ST. CROIX LOL[laugh][laugh]
I think all rod Co. have come out with a lemon. I remember a customer taking an Orvis 3 weight out in the parking lot. First cast the tip snapped.
Brought out another one to try and one of the sales clerks cast it....snap. Same spot. Bad taper.
I was told the same thing about my 10' 5 wt. TFO. That it had that rep.
Not bragging, just stating, have several rods that are over that $500. mark. I do think they would be in the $300. range if it weren't for that warranty. 20 some years and never broke any of the upper ends, go figure.
