Anybody know anything about these rods?  I have a line on getting them at a discount.  Bought one already, seems like a great stick, but before I buy more, I am looking for input.  Thanks gang! --  Rob

I have one Airrus Co-matrix 457, and I absolutely LOVE it !!  Would love to have a dozen more!  They definitely get the nod from me!

I have 3 co-matrix. First one I like alot, other two not so much. The second 2 have a different hook keeper than the first, which often catches the line and chews it up. This is especially true on the spinning rod. If it wasn't for this I would own more, as I think it is a good rod for the price. I just don't think that I should have to cut parts off of my rod to have them perform right.

I also have 2 457's and like them almost as much as my carrott stix and they are a lot cheaper.

I bought a Co-Matrix spinning rod for stripers on Smith Mountain Lake and I agree with both post. First, the rod will launch a jigheaded fluke and will pull in stripers..but...the hook holder sucked..I ended up cutting it off.
