Pros & Cons
Pros
The only complaint is the guides are micro, especially the tip. The craftsmanship is excellent, nice guide wraps, guides are indeed fuji.
Caught a few decent redfish, jacks, and a unexpected spotted gar while fishing in brackish water. The reel seat is without question better than others tested.
The rod has the perfect balance of stiffness and weight. It casts ultra light * just fine with the bigger set up. The moderate fast action is perfect.
Cons
Time to return it to amazon has expired, so there’s nearly $50. Shore fishing often requires maximum casting int he surf, and these eyes are not suited for that kind of application. My 8lb rods are sturdier… useless.
I have messages the seller, who has not bothered to respond. Total lack of customer service.
Highlights
Quality
Very durable and easy to assemble and disassemble.
The rod has the perfect balance of stiffness and weight and the moderate fast action is perfect.
The eye on the tip is so small that casting any type of connecting knot though it is impossible.
The rod bends evenly under the weight of a fish.
Price
This is an awesome buy for the price.
Extremely satisfied with this price and purchase.
I’d spend a little more money on it if it did.
Not as stiff as my ardito travel rod, but at less than half the price, it is solid.
Packaging/appearance
It was super easy to pack because it is so small.
But as a package is fantastic .
Competitiveness
Pros-overall build quality is better than other rods of the price range.
The reel seat is without question better than others tested.
I am comparing two other rods with this one and this is the one i’ll be keeping.

I contacted the seller and let them know what happend and they offered to send a free replacement so i will wait to receive the rod and retest it and update the review after got these poles for a easy travel fishing rod and from the description and reviews thought yea should be a good pole right wrong first use caught a small 7 inch sheeps head pole snaped right in the middle so okay kool took the broken piece stuck it back in and could still fish then boom caught a decent sized fish cant tell you want it was because of the rest of the story then boom snaps into another 3 pieces yay so had to go and find a replacement pole for the rest of the trip useless and a waste of money
