Awesome rods! This is not a rod for blasting 5 oz and packbait (obviously) but if you fish a spot plagued with smaller fish then this rod instantly makes those little guys feel like titans lol. If your looking for a rod for small weights at low distance for small-medium fish I don't know of a better one!

*TWO STAR REVIEW*

Purchased two, they’ve got decent action and seemed to be decent rods overall. Owned for ~3.5 weeks and used the rods twice so far. Unfortunately, the rod blank snapped clean like a twig on the tip section behind the second to the last guide while fighting an 8lbs carp on one of the rods. First time ever having a rod catastrophically fail like that.

Disappointed that one of my 11ft rods is now a 10ft rod, but will add a new eye on the broken tip and continue to use. Also, the top reel seat lock has a tendency to untwist depending on how you grip the handle.
