I have ordered two bnm 6sharpshooter one from bnm and the other from grizzly jig. I think they were a little cheaper form grizzly but the important thing was how they were packed. I don't remember how bnm was packed but grizzly was packed where you would have to run a tank over it to break the rod. Love the sharpshooter but if you shoot a lot you may have to replace the tip because line cutting grooves in it. Not a problem its something you can do quicker than sending it back.
