I am curious about these as well- I have only seen them on his website- not anywhere else and have not heard a word about them.  For 120.00 could be a great deal it it's a good peice. Hmm hopefully someone chimes in with some info.

Several years back I had one. It was a Loomis IMX blank. The rod was a good rod but as soon as I got into using Kistler Heliums, I ditched it.

I have three of his older models and ended up not liking them; too stiff and too few line guides.  Just saw on his site where they are still being sold..... :-?

A friend of mine won one at a tournament a couple years ago and just loves it. I've played with it a few times and honestly, it impressed me. Its a very different feel from anything else... not sure whose blanks they're using? Anyway, the one he has is very light but I've seen him land fish to 8 lbs with it and its definetely sensitive.
