What do you have to lose? Put it on your own lighter rods which aren't going to take a beating. See for yourself how they hold up. The worst thing that could happen is the guides fall apart, initial reports are that they don't. Reel seat might break, might not hold tight, but I would think AMTAK has tested these issues knowing some of the problems with other reel seats, and in the least the seats should be fine for at least Inshore Fluking and Freshwater fishing.

It's nice to have a company taking the steps to enter in a predominantly 1 company market. They are offering unique prodcuts, and to me it seems like they are meeting the needs and wants of many rodbuilders out there. Is the quality as high as Fuji - probably not, I'm sure they know that, and are working towards making better products available to Rodbuilders.
