Seems to be a lot of interest in lower coast but good performing rods right now, so I will ask an opinion and share a story about Gander Mountain. Last fall some good old boys ?non-fly fishers? were going on an outing and needed fly rods ASAP for the weekend. The first thing that came to my mind was G.M. had some St. Croix on close out. Well two guys show up on the trip with Gander Mountain IM7 rods. of course I just had to test cast them, IMHO not as good as my sage or orvis but every bit as good as the older TFO I have! Any one else have feed back on these rods?
