What length and line weight are the rods?
The rods are 7' and four weight.

Regardless of the rod maker, plan on waiting 2-3 yrs for an order to be completed. And yes, $3000 is not uncommon.
When I looked around, I was a little shocked at the prices. When I stumbled on Scott's website and saw that he charged $850.00 per pole and $1,000.00 for one with two tips, I got pretty excited. http://www.highdesertflyrods.com/

On his website, he mentions that the price of bamboo rods has skyrocketed due mainly to collectors as opposed to fisherman. Like I said earlier, I'm no expert, but I plan on getting into this more. He said he makes two to three per month.

Wetdog,

I will pass this on to them. I'm sure they will take you up on this. Very cool offer.
