I bought one about 7 years ago in Terrace, BC at the local fishing shop. It was about $30. This model has the butt come apart and it turns into a 7' 7wt fly rod! It's very flexible. That same year I wound on some 12lb test, a hoochie and spin 'n glow and landed two 20lb Chum Salmon in the Kitimat River! Talk about a blast. This rod is still going strong. I have had some of the less expensive ones from the 'big box' stores, but they broke after about one season.
Happy Fish'n.
