Hi all!
I wanted to share the news that Equinox lower rods are now finally “in production,” and at this point will be a permanent “for sale” product offering. This is the “for sale” ad that I’ve been promising for a few weeks now!
That’s the good news. The bad news is, my “pre-order” list grew so rapidly AFTER I had ordered the first batch of parts, that it quickly became apparent that I did NOT order enough parts to meet initial demand. As I am now working through the “wait list” in order, I can confirm that all 20 of the rods in the first “batch” are either already sold and shipped, or else are “spoken for” by folks who had been waiting to see if there would be any rods left when I got to their “place in line.”
I have placed another order for parts, which I expect to arrive in about 2 ½ weeks. So, my next batch of rods will be available within a couple of days thereafter – my estimate being the first week to 10 days of November. I am working hard to sort out the “demand vs. inventory” issue, so that I can get to the place where I know how many rod parts I need to order, and how frequently, so that I’m “caught up,” and achieve the desired situation where I always have rods “in stock.” Until I reach that point, I humbly ask for everyone’s patience and understanding!

With all that out of the way, the introductory sale price on the rods, for forum members, is $58 plus shipping (usually $8 for U.S. Priority/insured), so expect a price of $66 shipped in most cases. I can ship to Canada as well, for about $36, so the price would be $94 shipped, for Canadian residents.
If you are interested in a rod, please contact me, and I’ll include you on the list for the next batch of rods.
Thanks for your interest, and your patience while I get the “supply and demand” issues figured out!
Meanwhile, CTX 3030 rods are also available, for anyone interested or in need.
