JD,

Peter Thain is now the tech for Shimano, from what he tells me they put everything they can afford into them. Don't think anyone would be disappointed with their rods.

JD,

Peter moved house a couple of weeks ago and has been offline for a while, this post has reminded me to give him a call.

I will get back to you, either today or tomorrow.

JD,

Spoke to Peter, not a lot of info mate, sorry......he said that all of the 3 pce rods are designed by the European techs and should be compared as middle to top end depending on the price.

He said he's sorry he couldnt be more help.

Tom.
