    i mean no disrespect - but i dont know how me asking the most repected rod builder i know about a comment made to me, over any medium, is distasteful. So if my friend had said something it would have been ok to post but because it was said over the internet its not? I am not trying to disrepect you or him or anyone else, but i am a novice to this. So who else would i ask about something like this?

    If you are upset by how i asked the question e.g. quoting him, using his name, etc... i guess i can understand and therefore wont do that anymore.

    Like i said, if you read my posts i am here to learn, and my question was nothing more than that. trying to learn.

    Randy of Anglers Proshop is an excelllent rod builder himself. I saw his works and they are better than most custom rods builit by local rod builders. I think he deserves his opinion whether he sells OR rods or not. High-end Japanese jigging/popping rods are actually like custom rods. They don't make mass productions. All specs are considered after long field tests by experienced fishermen. Many local rod builders don't have chances to see those high-end Japanese rods.

    You're a good man, Kil. A great spokesman for the industry.

    Another point of merrit with Japanese rods is they have better access to components. THey have better frames available and rings as well for guides. They are not available for us. There are companies other than Fuji. I've used them and they are incredible. Even fuiji has stuff that they don't release all the time.
