Wish I had checked in here before my latest purchase, Ordered two rods, SA 703C and a SUF 701C, on June 11. So far have received the 703, the 701c is still processing. Neither were listed as out of stock, This is super slow compared to previous orders.
I'm also waiting to get a replacement for a broken 704c.
Its looking like I may not have my new rods for an upcoming tournament this weekend, this was never a concern in the past with a two week lead time.
All of that aside I like buying from a small/family manufacturer I'll probably be going with Taipan rods in the future.
