Troy, the JDM rods I'm fishing with use high carbon content, solid tip, and are designed for saltwater rock fishing. Randy fishes with Amati's & Stradivari's and I'm fishing with Fender's, LOL. You can make great music with any of them... My cost bracket is ~$80 to $200. I have some that are more expensive but are hardly used. The majority of my fishing is UL trolling in some vey ugly areas. I think you can't go wrong with a Major Craft anything. My 1st JDM was a Trappara trout rod. Highly recommended for entry level sul & xul rods.

Sounds like fishing with a feather Randy - ROFL. You should start your own web site.

Back in the day we used nylon upholstery thread, it broke ~.5lb. The UV would get it brittle quick.

I started out with same rod Sonny....then just kept going up. I was very impressed with the Trappara and Basspara.

I love my Yamaga Blanks Blue Current 6'5". If I can stop buying fly rods, I might buy another.

I just bought 2 Trappera 6'6 UL rods from DIRECTOUTFIT for 62% off original price. Entry level rods I guess, I'm excited.

Congrats......those are nice rods. Just curious how you picked that website to order from? Do you know anyone who has ordered from it before?

Randy,
I don't know of anyone who has ordered from there before and I'm a bit concerned. The deal on those rods was a smokin deal and I'm wondering if I didn't get taken somehow.

I was surfing JDM tackle on the Web and I typed in Trappera after reading the comments here and that website was one that came up. I'm hoping it's on the up and up!lol

Well I certainly hope you get them. The site has high risk for fraud.....and I see they don’t take PayPal. Time will tell.

I still have one of those Trapara rods and a Basspara also. That deal on the Trapara rods is too good to be true - I hope you get them. Even @ list price, it's a great rod.

I decided to cancel the card I used...it's just not worth it. That's some obscure site that I should've absolutely known better to use it.

I'm going to one of Randy's recommended sites!!
