If a rod manufacturer would try making at least one rod line with the action they had back in the early years of graphite, but concentrate their development efforts on making them much tougher to break, with reasonable prices (around $300) they'd out sell every other rod line, even if they were two piece and had the simplest of hardware. Vintage two piece Superfines and LL's still sell on the used market at prices that would make you think they were new, and rods don't come any plainer than original Superfines--they look like rods made for fishing, not showing off.
