Yonk - I agree, and if an individual made a statement on a website like that, it would be one thing. Just take it in stride, ignore it and move on. But for a respected business like H&H who has sold equipment to rod builders of all stripes for years to make a comment like that I feel is in poor form. I think they are better than that and the comment is innacurate. I also think they know or should know by now that it is innacurate (with the exception of course of a few bad apples who probably are elitists and should be equally called to account for the misguided things they say).

Good luck with your project!
