Jim is one of Reel Time Designs
top Pro Staffers in the Lady Smith, Virginia area.
Jim's dedication and confidence in HarmoniX Rods is evident in his testimonial below:
"I can no longer justify paying in excess of $175.00
for a rod when I cannot feel any significant
difference in sensitivity between it and a Harmonix rod.
Simply put, a Harmonix rod is a beautifully handcrafted, light weight and sensitive, high quality affordable rod that has a lifetime warranty that continues to allow me to maintain my competitive edge on the tournament trail! "
