Default Thoughts on this magazine offer?

I stumbled across this offer http://www.totalflyfisher.com/Subscriptions/ today and wondered if anyone had taken advantage of it, and what they thought of the rod?
It's for Totalflyfisher magazine, a year's subscription and a 9' 5/6 weight 3 piece fly rod for £37.30.
Just the subscription without the rod is about £25. They claim the rod is worth £65.99. I don't know who makes it. Has anyone any experience or knowledge of this rod?

I've tried a few fly magazines and some are better than others. I believe this one has some good articles and is more than an advertisement, are there any regular readers of it who can shed more light?

I'm not sure whether I'm a sucker for advertising or I've spotted a good deal for a rod size and weight that I don't have at just the right time!

So it does....well spotted, I missed that in all the excitement.
Looks like I missed a good offer then!
A shame they can't keep their website updated.
Thanks for your answers.

Don`t worry about the date to much it has been running for ages, months. I think the date chages with every new monthly issue.
Used to be either a new line I think for a 6 month sub, rod for 12 month or both for 18 months.
Give them a ring and see if the offer is still on.

Default Rod offer still on

I've got the August 09 issue in front of me and the date the offer ends is 07/08/2009. I suspect they keep changing it in case they want to introduce an new offer.
Shame they stopped that 18-month subscription offer, sounds like it was a good deal (if you're going to buy the mag anyway).

Just had a look at an old issue where the line, rod or the line plus rod were on offer and the end date for that was 08-08-08. That`s how long the offer has been on and closing for.
Must have a lot of rods to get rid of.

I had a loan of the rod for a month and is a decent wee rod for the price.

I took the subscription and got the rod about three weeks ago. (it arrived very quickly).
I used it for the first time last night and was very impressed. It worked very well and, as mentioned earlier, cast a long line with litle effort.
