I recently got a Graphite-leader Nuovo Bosco from an eBay seller in Japan for $100 as a travel rod to keep in my dorm since it is 2 piece, I wasn't expecting much for the price($110 shipped) but was blown away when I received the rod, it definitely has a JDM feel like my megabass rods and it even has higher end Fuji Titanium framed SiC guides, clean epoxy and thread wraps, but as with any rod specs don't mean much without performance which, in fact is also quite impressive, It is very sensitive and casts well, it performs just like a 1 piece and more what I'd expect from a $200-250 rod.

Nice purchase! Looks like a rod with sharp looks and performance.
