Fishing Rods

First, are the Argon rods not available anymore, discontinued? If I did buy one will it still carry the limitred lifetime warranty?

I am looking at these 2 models:

AFSB67C 6'7" MH and the 6'9" MH AFW69C. Are either or one of the rods a bit stiffer than the 2009 Helium LTA 6'9" MH?

Also where are these rods made?

How much of a difference in feel, action and performance to the 2009 Helium LTA line in same length?

yes, they were discontinued but will still be backed up with our warranty however you will have to decide on downgrading to a Mg or upgrading to a HeLTA if a claim is made.

No, the LTA is stronger and stiffer in the 2009.

They are made in China

Some say they performed as good as or better than the 2009 LTA. Some still say LTA all the way.
