From my previous post and review of the Wright & Mcgill Plunge combo, I contemplated getting the St Croix Imperial or Avid and the Lamon Kona 2 or Orvis Battenkill Barstock. After returning the W & M combo I searched around and was impressed with the favorable reviews on the Allen Fly Fishing equipment.

So I ended up getting the Allen Xa 5 wt rod with the 5/7 Trout series reel and line. Needless to say this was more then the $150 I paid for the W&M combo but something tells me this is ALOT more gear for substantially less than $300 bucks. I will give a full report once the items arrive.
I feel like my Red Ryder bb gun is on the way and I can't wait to take out some cans !!!!
In all seriousness, Justin is fantastic to communicate with and his service is top notch. This company is gonna do well if only on the customer service. It goes a long way.
