Cnd rods are outrageously overpriced for being mass produced rods made in china? For instance the Specialist series costs $645 to $775. Their solstice series tops off at $695. Basically you can get a made in the USA Sage Z Axis and a nice reel or you can get a mass produced made in Chica CND. Heck, you can probably have a top rod builder special build a z axis for you for the price of a CND.

Their lines are great casting lines, but again they cost $110 compared to about $69 for other spey lines that advertise here.

I hope people read this, I dont think people realize CND's are mass produced in China .
I dont think people would pay the prices that a top notch rod builder like Gary Anderson, Bob Meiser, or Burkheimer charges for their rods that are not only outstanding fishing rods but also works of arts (made by US(!!!) citizens) for mass produced in China rods
