High prices could possibly be attibuted to two factors:
1. Volume
2. Lifetime Warranty

I am guessing that there are no where near as many fly rods sold as freshwater or saltwater spin fishing rods. Economies of scale.

Someone has to pay for the replacement of all those rods that get busted in car or storm doors.


I think as Peter mentioned the Tiogas are a great proven reel for the money. I have the lighter version and am happy with it.

Of course my first reel was a $50.00 Pflueger 1495 &1/2 and that has landed me a number of really nice Stripers largest being about 24lbs on the flats of Monomoy. Those fish didn't seem to mind it was only a cheap reel.
