have not fished them but i like the looks of 1 of them....
they have a 6'6" 1 pce. med heavy spinning, (sportsman model) i believe. the cheapest model that looks excellent for jigging 3/8 and 1/2OZ jigs for big eyes up here... for 35$ canadian. i will probably buy for a guest rod and will see if it will pry my original series 1 out of my hand...I am not really interested in the others as i only have 2 hands..the price does seem reasonable though....

Checking it out at Cabelas ($30 American) last week the above post staes and I agree that 6.6 would be a good heavy jig rod at a good price.
I checked them out at fleet farm recently.
It appears that they are made in China, of very nice cork, and a reasonably high quality graphite. Good guides, and very nice balance.
In other words - it appears that they represent a very good value.
The ones that I saw, all appeared to be well made, and were selling for less than $50 - I think that they were actually $29.95 at fleet farm as a matter of fact.
take care
