I noticed that TackleWarehouse is now carrying Duce Rods and I did a little research on these rods. They seem like an awesome rod for the money. The Cliff Crochet signature series seems like a real gem at the price point as well.
-Toray carbon blanks
-Double locking reel seat nuts
-Skeletonized reel seat/grip
-PacBay guides
-Spiral wrap guide design on all rods
-$160 price point
Apparently Duce is a big brand in the Redfish fishing world and they've been dipping their toes into the bass world the past two years. They're based in Louisiana as well. Has anyone here ever fished with one? Or know anything additional about them for that matter?
