Recently our fly club was given several blank rods that were manufactured in New Zealand, and was wondering what the quality was like. I googled the maker and see that there are many dealers throughout the country, so apparently it's a popular rod.

Specifically, the rods are 12 and 12-14 wts, some 3-piece, some 4 piece, all 9 footers.

They are GD Rods, manufactured by Composite Developments, (NZ) Ltd.

Any information you could impart would be greatly appreciated by all our members.

Best regards,
