If you are refering to saratoga branded rods & reels, they are distributed by tacklemania in Boronia at their shop or on Ebay. I have 3 rods & two reels, 1 overhead & 1 egg beater, 2 boat rods and a carbon fiber spin rod.
Not impressed with the reels but very impressed with the rods, in particular the carbon fiber spin rod, cork grips nice action excellent bream rod. Very reaso***le price, cheaper on Ebay than at thier shop.
Hope this helps :)

I have a saratoga Overhead and I shelved it once after use. It was bloody horrible.
Bought from EBAY... But I guess thats the risk you take, buying cheap gear!

After using Penn rods and reels for years I decided to buy a saratoga rod and I loved it so I bought 2 more rods and a baitcaster reel and so far they have worked out great, I also bought a saratoga trolling reel that was crap, but I still use my old favorite penn game rod and penn baitcaster for the heavy duty fishing because I know they wont let me down .
Ive bought a few very cheap rods and reels off ebay for a group of teenage boys under my care who are now into fishing and they much prefere to sit and fish off the jetty and have stopped burning peoples letter boxes. :roll:
