Ah and the great debate begins again, who's made where, are they different and who's better.... Thus the reason I created my senior project for college. I'll be posting the results soon.

The howards/olivers/carillos/crowers are no brainers, but they are in a completely different price tier than your average consumer rod. The ohios intrigue me because I had previously thought eagle/cat/scat/K1/440 source were the only entry level h-beam rods out there (and they're all forged in china). Also note ohio's 'h-beams' are priced around the same as 440 sources (maybe cheaper).

If anyone knows if they're just re-packaged please pass that information to me.
