The name of the rod is Evolution made by Lipper tools, Inc. They are made of a neo-carbon, they say a revolutionary new material comprised of high quality graphite and a space-age bonding agent. Looks like they have both an inshore model and an offshore one. They make two lengths 6'6" and 7' and run $100.00/ea. So if your friend has one how heavy are they? Cosmetically the do look a whole lot better than an ugly stick and cost a whole lot more.</SPAN>Mon, 30 Oct 2006 14:57:06 GMTseabass hunter3http://www.addictivefishing.com/forum/Topic7766-9-1.aspxMy friend has a lipper rod and it seems very nice, but are they really that nice? Are they "unbreakable"? If anyone has any info on these rods, please let me know, thanks</P><P align=center>Practice CPR (Catch-Photo-Release)Sun, 29 Oct 2006 16:58:21 GMTfisherman292
