My buddy visited the local tackle shop yesterday to find the guy who owns it was selling his esox rods for a new brand. He bought all six that he had, then called me to ask if I had heard of the brand, I hadn't so I looked them up. I was stunned to find that the rods he bought retailed between three and six hundred bucks. When I relayed this to him he finally told me what he paid....$10 a piece!! So my question is, anyone think they are counterfeit?

Or stolen.

That never crossed my mind... I know my buddy didn't steal them because I saw the receipt for them(I didn't believe he paid what he said he did). The tackle shop has been around forever and the guy seems honest. He has some good deals but this one just doesn't make sense to me. I was going to get one from him but I'm not sure now. Should we check with the local pd?
