Just wondering if anyone has ever heard or used Valley Hill Black Scale rods.  One is for sale on CL, not really needing the rod but it comes with a Shimano Canean reel which I want.

tackle store manager in my area has two , pretty sure they are from Japan ,here's a link http://www.saltywatertackle.com/high-end-jigging-surfing-casting-and-popping-rods/valley-hill-black-scale-custom-bass-rod-701.html

if you are needing a BFS rod , this would be a good one !! sic guides and the rod is really  light ..
