Your rod arrived today and I am amazed by its quality and beauty. It looks very well finished, light and very fast. I have bought several rods from China and yours is by far the best. It is superior to my Sage, Orvis, Hardy, etc. Congratulations. The only mistake was not ordering a replacement toe cap. I will try it on the river in 3 more days and let you know how it feels and if it performs as well as it looks I promise I will publish it on the fly fishing pages.
