Just looked at tackletour and came across the verdict. Nice looking rod, $130 price range. Looks like they took an idea from American Rodsmiths on the handle. Similar to the magstrike or magstrike predator. Silver blank looks tough. Says it will be available this fall.

Is that the one with the white painted blank? I like the model that is coming out with the sliding rear grip allowing it to shorten. I cant find a rod with a short enough grip anymore.
