Their web site has five reviews and all are "good".

Dave, if you like the rod and it has gotten good reviews, then I would say go for it! I have not fished or even cast any of Bass Pro or Cabelas for that matter, fly rods. But with today's technology, I don't think you can buy a bad fly rod for $100. It may not have the quality of components or craftmanship more expensive rods might have but as far as casting it should do just fine. And being a shorter rod it is most likely designed for shorter casts and bigger flys so being able to bang out a cast a long ways does not come into play.
