Lots of alternatives given.

From their web site:

"No Risk Satisfaction Guarantee and a Lifetime Warranty
Take 30 days to wiggle it, cast it, and fish it. If you like it?keep it. Otherwise return for exchange or refund."

So, get it, inspect it, if you like it keep it and post a review so the rest of us will have more insight. Grass is pretty much grass after all. It's the workmanship and design you pay for in a bamboo rod. If the workmanship is worth the price and it casts well for you, sounds like a winner. Take away either and it's a loser. Just my $.49 (devalued dollar you know )
