No idea, but if you order 100 or more they’re only $25.50 apiece. I’m good here, but it you can get 99 of the other fellas here to join in on a group buy it’s a steal of a deal.

Even for the higher prices most online flyshops carry these in it’s hard to worry about. You might have a few manageable quirks or defects here and there, but it’s not exactly a financially painful mistake if they suck. Any evaluations or reviews you find are suspect anyway because these types of production runs can vary quite a bit from batch to batch. Y’know, specs can (and do) change like the weather on lower price range production runs and they leave the product description vague for that very reason.
I say go for it and see what it is. If you like the 1wt idea and find it suits your fishing, well then you might start planning your next rod acquisition with a higher budget and begin searching for that which is dreamy and oh-so-desirable.
