The price was far less than what Plat sent me a pre-order (reserve) invoice for September shipping - which I declined to pay, and am glad I did.

If you want one, shimreels has 10 in stock! Evergreen Rod Spinning Superior SPRS-610UL-S "The Limber Tip SS" (2704) 4533625122704 | eBay
Thanks for the info! I've been checking their web store on a regular basis, but for the rods I'm interested in the price is always quite a bit higher than MSRP. I'd love to try out the Superior at some point, but my current interests are somewhere else. The price for the Superior looks great though!
