These Rods have been being tested for sometime now. Atleast four or five members of this board and some friends. There also were some rods sent to a company and they sent them out to there own product testers to test out as well. So probably 15 or 20 of them went to people i or Lehigh doesn't even know.
The Rod is by far the best Rod i ever used or have seen. Alot of safety features are on this rod and it's built second to none. I'm sure most people will agree when they get there own.
