any input on IROD rods?

[TimJ]

I would appreciate any input, positive or negative, on the Irod Genesis series. Any direct comparisons to other brands/models experienced would be helpful as well.

Thanks

STAY AWAY! As fast as I got it is as fast as I returned it. Ordered the Bub Tosh punching rod, utter junk. Epoxy overspray on the grips, guide inserts, and blank. Guides were not position right, every other one was cockeyed, and super tip heavy. Seems like a one armed paper hanger that was blind folded and drunk built the rod. No attention to detail whatsover. Stick with a Dobyns or Powell in that price range

I heard they had some problems , don't know if it was resolved..Also heard that the red and black Damiki Dark Angel rods where the "Mercedes Benz" out of the two.

I had considered getting the Jr. Swimbait rod. After visiting the website and coming away unimpressed, I went with the USA made Lamiglass Excel. I KNOW that Lamiglas will be around in a few years if I need anything. The mailing address on the Irod site comes up as a residence in California...
