What do I have to lose?? My question is , what do I have to gain? I guess the answere is the colored hoods. Colored hoods and a dollar off are not sufficient incentive for me to switch from a Fuji reel seat. Someone will be spending $200-$500 on a rod so the dollar or two is insignificant. I can put all the color I want on a rod using thread. To a guy who builds hundreds and hundreds of rods , the savings add up but for the customer who buys 1 , 2 3, etc rods the money saved is not worth going with anything but the Fuji.

BTW , I feel the same way about the guides.
