Still can't answer DM's on this page!
Apologies to Keta and others, but I do not know when more inventory may be arriving for rods that are currently out of stock.
Just about everything from the West Coast series is available in tackle shops all over Southern California, along with key locations in Northern California, but beyond that, I do not know.

Thanks Steve.   It is impossible to get any LR gear in small town southeastern Oregon.

I guess that means you need to come down and go after some bluefin tuna in San Diego!

I am thinking the 9ft jig stick will pair with my Fathom 25LDII quite nicely.
