Has anyone heard of or used them?
The one I am looking at is made by wright and mcgill. Tackle tour has an intial product review, but no tests yet.

I looked at one this week in a local store and liked how it felt, but was hoping to see or hear some reviews before buying.

I haven't used one, but If I could find one in a store around here, I'd definately be interested.

If you get one, let us know how you like it.

man at least if you drop that rod under water you'll be able to see it.....that thing is bright!!.....it looks like most of the rod is yellow....is that right?

[rodnreel]

I'm pretty sure the bottom half of the rod is all yellow. Of course it has to have the signature Skeet colors on it somewhere!! I would also be interested in hearing how this rod performs. I also haven't been able to find any of these around or even much online, but at $90 I would snatch one up in a heartbeat....let us know how it goes if you decide to get one.

wow , I like em... hope they perform well.

After reading about them more, I realized they aren't graphite.

I'd be interested to see how the glass rods perform and if they really are as sensitive as they claim to be.

I can see the baitmonkey with cans of yellow and black paint! I'd love to get my hands on one of those and try it out. Not crazy about the colors, but I could live with it.

They are caring them in local Bass pro. Theya re not actually black and yellow they are yellow and a brownish color with black handles. Looks and feels really good. I will be buying a few soon

Berkley, thanks for clearing that up man. I must've miss read the thing on TT, or they didn't explain it very well... It was probably my fault, lol.
