BreakAway rods done?
I spoke with MikeCC after the trade show he attended and yes he said factory Breakaway rods are finished. Shakespeare has no intention of continueing them.
What about Blanks? - Yes they will still be made.
Mike bought all inventory of factory rods. NO CONVENTIONAL only spin.
He had some other trade show tid bits. New lures etc....

Better off with a custom on the same Allstar blanks. More fishable handle lengths and better guide placement and selection on a custom . The Breakaways were excellent factory rods , one of the best but its the blanks that made them so IMO.

Just got back. Thanks for posting chris.
Looks like All Star is going twards the a Freshwater Rod Company.
I took the entire inventory of 9', 9.5' and 10' factory rods. I will also have some super blow out sales on them when they arrive.I'll be selling the 10' rods for $120. Allstar will also honor the full Warrantys.
Be on the look out for some new lures . Called the Solish Shad
they will be coming in 4" 7/8 oz , 5" 1.25 oz, 6" 2oz, & 8" 4.5 oz they are made of a HRT peafoam with an interlocking thru wire VMC hooks 37 coats of epoxy finish over Holographic life like image.will swim 5-10'  The lures are going to be a top hit, prices should range from $9-$14
