The lack of responses would seem to indicate that few if any others have experience with those rods. But I'm curious. So could you please tell us what your impressions are?

I’ve had a few of their lines, which are very thin partially the JL Micro Thin Dry Fly, which also has a thin head for delicate landings. I bought a California second hand but sold it to my farther in favor of a hardy sirrus glass. The rod is nice enough but I just can’t past the feeling that he’s just buying a lot from the Far East with a big mark up… I just can’t see the resale value been as good when compared to a big name brand such as hardy, sage, Orvis etc when the RRPs are the same.
