They dont have an established website ..Aint sure why , but you can see them here <A href="http://www.anglers-outlet.com/fishing_products/eupro_spin_fishing_rods.htm">http://www.anglers-outlet.com/fishing_products/eupro_spin_fishing_rods.htm</A></P><P> Now if ya want a all time world class rod ;)...Check with Captain Karl (fishbones) here on the forums . He made me a git-r-done rod that has to be the very finest I have fished with ...Now I got to have him make me one for casting and jigging , The one I have is made for horsein the fish from structure, a real heavy duty bruiser of a rod ..but I still can feel the shrimp kickin on the end of my line :w00t: But its just a litle to much for castin and jigging all day because of the long handle...gonna go with a shorter one next time ...Ya here that Karl ??;):D</P><P> [IMG]http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h265/reblgrl/CaptKarl6.jpg[/IMG]Tue, 12 Sep 2006 06:39:59 GMTFlatsKrackerhttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic6133-9-1.aspx<STRONG>Never heard of the rod. You can get very nice okuma reels in that price range as many hear will attest. Some of the shimanos are nice in that price range as well.</STRONG>Mon, 11 Sep 2006 05:57:37 GMTDOAhttp://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic6133-9-1.aspxI am really thinking about getting a Karma rod for my birthday, but I am not sure if I should. Will the rod break easily? Is it worth the money? Are they good rods? and I am looking for a reel in the $100 range to go with it. any help would greatly be appreciated, thanks...Sun, 10 Sep 2006 17:20:48 GMTfisherman292
