They were on sale at fishusa.com last week for $19.99 less 15% which almost covers shipping. I'm not in cahoots with Diawa. In fact, the PR people there are dicks. But I am frugal.

I agree BrotherNature - I have several of their rods and they are great. Calumet Marine carries them but not sure what the cost is there but will save you shipping charges.
