Thanks for the comments. No I would not purchase another ESP Rod. I gave it a very good review after extensive use but after about 6 months the lacquer on the rod started to fade .....turn milky color....and peel off. Plus as I had written in the review that I did not like the guides but over time I would report back how they held up. Well the guides are horrible. I checked into getting the rod re-wrapped. The two guys I checked with quoted me a price in the 100 dollar range......I paid 76 dollars for it......but I decided against doing it as I can get a nice rod for 100 bucks. There are better rods for the money and better rods for less money than the ESP.


Regards
