Id also like to know about the rods, have seen them and they look good, but never used.

I have a bunch of other swage stuff and it's all been top notch!

Mint, yeah i'm trying to decide whether to get a new belt, thinking either the swage or mc works(mc works is $100 more though), mainly for topwater stuff but jigging as well, like 70/30.
Are they pretty comfortable? tried any others?

Hi Pete, never used one or seen one but with a name like that I assume it will last like forever, like you can't kill it like , like it won't die on you at an inappropriate time , like you know you need one.
There are two types of people in the world: those that divide people into two types and those that don't.

Talk to Chris at rod and reel, he has done a lot of testing of these and would be one of the most clued up people to talk to about it.

Swage make some of the best jigging tackle around.  Their gimbal belts are highly recommended, being non-metal, they are boat friendly.  I have 2 of the gimbals.   
give it death!

Quick update I recently bought the L spin rod which I am really impressed with. Works upto 300g jigs no problems and has a great parabolic action when loaded.
Big 👍 from me and thanks to Marcus and the boys at Rod and Reel
