Daiwa Heartland-Z rods

[Schmuel]

Is anyone familiar w/ these rods? They appear to be much higher end than the Heartland rods I've run across in the past. They have all Japanese writing all over them and have $40,000 Yen price tags - I think that's like $300 US. I've found a bunch on clearance and am thinking of picking up some M/L and L's.

TTT Does anybody use these? I've found them on clearance for $59 where they retail in Japan for the equivalent of $300 - $400.
($1 = approx 105 Yen)

Yes, I use them. Had good success for the past two years with them. I paid $50 each through our local tackle store (I did buy 12 of them so it may have helped me get a better price). I'm pretty hard on my equipment and they have held up very well. Duffy

I got a 7 ft. medium light. I caught many walleyes with it last year. I can't say I found one problem with it. It may not stand up to some of the more expensive rods but it will do the job.
