Pros & Cons
Pros
The hook keeper design on the back of the handle keeps the fishing line flush to the rod as opposed to down the eyelets. Casts a country mile. Matched it up with a kastking brutus 4000 spinning reel.
Great rod for the money. Would defiantly purchase this rod again. Great combo together for under $100. Didn't miss a beat working flawlessly.
I’m not sure if others reporting breaks received duds but this one is sleek, tough, and light. I'm not easy on rods and these were the toughest two piece rods i have ever found.
Cons
A substantial amount of other users have encountered this problem. Warranty is a joke. You have to pay shipping and the cost of shipping for a rod this cheap, it's just not worth it.
Second eyelet from tip is faulty and has exposed metal ridge where the protective nylon ring should be. Also the eyelets are not lined up with the reel mount.
Very brittle rod. Its like these are made out of hollow balsa wood.
I’m pretty bummed, but i guess that’s what i get for trying something new. What a shock and massive disappointment. Should've been the best setup in the house.

Price
I've always left the great quality at a low price, casting blade baits for largemouth bass and smallmouth in the fall and spring.
They should have asked for double the price!
I chose this one because i know their quality is good, their customer service is great, and the price was really low.
Packaging/appearance
Not only was the rod boxed air tight, the rod was placed in a rod holder cylinder with foam packaging which kinda makes it impo... Read More
Competitiveness
Just what i needed to fit in the car trunk where you can't carry a solid 1pcs rod.
For the money very good, better than others of higher price.
It had the finesse and strength for midweight fish.
My first kastking but it won't be my last!
