I dont know about this maker but you may want to check out Classic and Custom Fly shop in Canton Ct. He has been importing bamboo rods from China that are affordable, the only thing they lack is the fancy luxury look of the expensive rods. He sells them as fast as he gets them in. Its the difference of driving a BMW or a Chevy, they both get you from point A to point B.

Highland Mills is the company formerly known as "Tea-Stick" fly rods. These rods are all made in China, hence the low price.

IMHO I feel that you could find a vintage Heddon or Granger or similar rod for the same money or less.

Just my 02. cents
