Bent & Straight Fishing Rod

This says it all bought 2 more. Great quality and looks. Used for deep sea mahi tuna. Used quite a while no rust.

The Fit and Finish (Watch video) Overall, the pole (5’6” Heavy 2 Piece) is amazing. Gorgeous when the sun hits it…. The Blue & Silver POP..! After going over the entire rod, I found nothing wrong with it cosmetically. All of the reel eyelets are straight inline, the stainless rollers are beautiful and shows no nicks or sharp edges. The pole also comes with a nice rod bag/sleeve. It was shipped securely and even had a “tip protector” when the rod arrived. Mechanically All the stainless rollers work as intended with little to no space to pinch a line. Additionally, all of my screws holding the “rollers” were taught as they should be. The “2 Piece” isn’t a traditional 2 piece rod. The rod and “upper grip” are ONE piece. The lower grip & portion of the reel seat (approximately 18”) are the SECOND piece. Without the lower piece attached, the upper rod portion stands just above 4’ tall. The rod seat is exceptionally study as one would expect from a saltwater heavy rod. With all aluminum, I can see the anodized blue wearing over time. Connecting the 2 pieces together takes all but 5-10 seconds and is very secure as it locks into place. As mentioned in the video, the lower “end cap” slides on easily and could possible be lost easily also. It is very minor issue in my opinion. I also showed a fix for this in the video. Once the end cap is removed, it exposes an aluminum rod rest to easily fit into a rod harness. Again, everything fits seamlessly. The LOWER portion of the rod grip is different that what is in the description and seems like an upgrade. It’s made of a matching black hard but textured pvc material. I can imagine this was done to protect the rod from being placed in and out of a rod holder limiting scuffing and damage. Durability I am very happy with the overall build and durability of this rod. Nothing seems cheap or as though they cut corners. The Rod also looks to clean up after fishing with ease. The upper grip is a firm foam material. I hesitate to say hard but it’s tough and feels wonderful in my hands. The balance of the rod is also a big plus for me. The rod is slightly forward heavy and with a reel attached, creates an appealing balance which makes holding the full rig a pleasure. The eyelet stainless rollers look very durable and also easily changed out if desired. Value What else can I say? It’s a beautiful rod at a fair price point..! Wish List -Tighter End Cap that snaps/screws/pops on. -Wish the rod came in other colors such as red to match my reel. Customizing I may wrap the grips with “Red, White & Blue” paracord. Plenty of YouTube vids available.

good rod

I have never owned a rod like this, that being said if you want a rod that is very sensitive when the fish bites THIS IS FOR YOU I use mine for cat-fishing in fresh water but my target fish are 50+ pounds I love it its awesome and easy to transport because of length.

Not impressed at all cheaply made

EXCELLENT

High quality rod very well constructed. I like the way the rod locks together. It's impossible for a fish to pull it apart in a fight. No matter how big he is.

The rod came earlier then expected. Fits well with the reel I'd got several weeks before and had a good performance so far.
