Ok, I just did a quick calculation. At 30% off that would make them 63.00 each for trolling poles. That puts them right in line with the higher end poles that are out there. From talking to a couple of guy's I trust that are fishing them they would be worth the money if you can afford them. What a lot of guys on here sometimes fail to take into consideration is not everyone can afford to run out and buy the latest greatest product that comes out. Yet I feel these kinds of posts are good because it gets a lot of good information out there for those who might be on the fence about a product they might be interested in. Just like Meatgetter posting about the Jenco rods. I had never heard of them. Might turn out to be another great product or a bust, who knows but either way it goes we as a group have the information to make a informed decision. To my simple old mind that's what this site is all about. Don't need any bashing of people or products.
