The issue isn't a 2pc rod as there are many FINE 2pc rods out there but the fact that you're paying normal price for a VS reel and getting a free Chinese rod with the Lami name

I have looked at that combo many times and from the picture it looks like a good rod, there are places were you could use a 300.
I think if there was a clearer pic. of the rod it would be better. who said it was made in china?

the rod

Skits---I don't know anything about those rods, but here's a big clue, at least to me---when something is "engineered" by a company, it normally means they don't make it themselves.

And if Lami doesn't make it in Washington, it comes from across the really big pond.

And the only 10' rods that a VS 300 "perfectly balances" are a Harnell 552 or a Lami SB 121 5M.
