Seeker and Calstar issues

[Pinoyfisher]

Anyone hear about the issues these legendary rod manufacturers are having? I hear a lot of retailers have stopped carrying them.

Haven't heard anything, would like to know what's going on.

Seeker recently sold again. Not sure what's next for them.

Calstar... Leon's health hasn't allowed him to crack the whip like he used to. Squidco recently got some in but didn't see any jigsticks.

That said I'm seeing a lot of United Composites come across the bench lately and daaaaamn these are nice. Randy is killing it over there. Slowly building up my UC arsenal.

Plenty of seekers and calstars at my 2 main local shops.

I have a couple GUSA sticks from the 90's, the original UC blanks. What I'm hearing is that Calstar cant keep up with production promises and can't fill orders already paid for + the quality is slipping. Would be a shame to see them go by the wayside like Newell did.
