I'm not too bent about it, that's the way it goes with alot of high end Italian products in my somewhat limited experience. Saeco esspresso machines, Campagnolo bicycle wheelsets, and now Gatti flyrods. Ultimate performance at the sacrifice of all else.
And I've got plenty of other good rods to use. I just miss her......
