One has to wonder what kind of changes will be made to the Ross product line. I sure hope quality doesn't suffer from re-organization. I have never been too enamored by SA products except the Mastery flylines. At any rate, Ross will lose at least some of it's charm being a part of a big conglomerate. But then again maybe they will decide to bring back the really nice reels that Ross has discontinued. Like the Gunnison or Canyon Big Game........Just some random thoughts.

I take it you have never seen a SA fly rod at walmart. Those are DA BOMB!! I think they are the same blanks as the NRX
