Sumo XS fly rod

I read about these on another site and was curious as to what they were like. I've been needing a new 8wt., so I followed these on e-bay and ended up bidding on and winning a bid on a new 8wt, 10-ft rod. The price, with shipping from England, was about $64. The rod was said to have a fast action, but I would term it just on the softer side of real fast. It is still a cannon and a pleasure to cast. I used it on my favorite still-water over the weekend and am very pleased with its performance. For $64 it's hard to go wrong with such a well-built rod.
