    Thanks for the responses. It sounds like a technology that was ahead of its time. I wonder if it will eventually pick up some steam in the high end rod market.

    Randy - that Daiwa Presso Ltd SMT sounds like it uses technology found in the space shuttle! Ha ha ha! It sounds like a very technologically advanced fishing rod. It I can only image how sensitive this rod is. I also read the warnings about using it in cold temperatures and that is a little scary. I will be looking forward to your review!

    I also remember when certain Bass boat brands brought out Kevlar hulls as the "new big thing" ... then a couple of Pros busted'em up and they faded away. :rolleyes:

    In terms of fly rods, it doesn't get much more "high end" than Winston.

    Others have tried boron. Maybe they just couldn't make it work, at least not as well as Winston.

    I had a couple of Browning boron. Honestly I could not tell much difference from graphite

    Johnny Morris of Bass Pro sold me my first..Was supposed to be the Deal..
    Doesn't even come close to JDM Rods,
    G Loomis is the Best in my opinion....
    Just me..Way higher than JDM Rods..
    Especially if you can obtain the old Rods with cork handles...All the Guides on the White River use them...
