New T-curve "GT Special" Rod

Has anyone had a play with one yet? wondering what there like? pretty sure there not available yet, does anyone know when they will be?
it would be the cheapest GT rod around, and for what they are going to retail for the look the goods with good components! i think they will retail for around the $500ish mark
they look differently built to the other tcurves (kingmacks n bluewater), different graphite and reel seat. they look awesome though!
im sure they don't rate closely to the highly rated GT rods (carpenter, seed, smith etc...) but im sure they will the job fine and run 80lb through them fine!

Length: 8ft (2 pce, "travel butt" construction)
Rated: PE 3-8
Lure weight: 100-200g
Guides: SiCs
