I see so many available on ebay from shops that I dont understand why a powerhouse like TW is having a hard time getting them in stock.
They are starting to grow on me a little bit

Apparently, they're waiting for e21 to send a new shipment. After the first 500 piece run e21 made they sold out in December, and can't meet the demands from the retailers they're so popular.
Well, today is the 9th. I'm gonna give it a few hours and then check the tracking # on it...................just to see, but I'm thinking they ain't getting 'em on a Sunday. I'm getting real close to cancelling the order and spending the money elswhere. I wonder if they charge for order cancellations for something they're out of, lol.

Just looked. The 3/14 date is for the 7'3" model. The 6'7" spinning model I'm waiting on still shows today's date............but I have a feeling that may change :evil:

(Note: quoting myself now
Well, the receive date at TW changed to 3/21. Enough is enough. I cancelled the order and found the same rod in-stock at Tackle Direct on-line. I should have it no later than 3/19. Yeah, I know I should just wait to see if the shipment from TW arrived on 3/21 at their store, and then wait for them to ship it to me, but who the hell knows what the next date change would be).

Well, the wife called me this morning and told me that the bank had already posted the purchase this morning. Usually, that means the on-line order has been filled and shipped 
. I won't be able to check my personal email concerning confirmation until I get home today.

Woo-Hoo! Here's a cut & paste from the Tackle Direct order tracking page:
Being picked and packed for shipment. Guess I should've ord'd from them to begin with.

Got it in-hand! . While I was out of town last week the rod came in. It was locked-up and waiting for me this morning. This thing has no weight to it (without reel at the moment). Can't wait to get home and put a reel on and see how it feels. Tackle Direct did a great job in getting it here in a very timely manner 8)

Finally!
Post up a pic or two when you put a reel on it.

Here you go. After getting home and putting a reel on the rod, I decided to take it for a test run. Once I got used to having hardly any weight in my hand, the casts came easy. Tried some weightless t-rigged Tiki Sticks, and then switched to a 3/16oz spinner bait. No bites, but it was fun to be out there casting again. Sun ws out and it was 66 degrees, slight breeze.
Rod with Shimano 2500FB spinning reel. Seems to be a good match, and it casts great:
