Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality

This rod has a high quality feel.

This is a high quality set up.

Price

Thanks kastking for affordable top shelf gear.

Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness

I've compared it to several rods i have that i paid twice as much money for and it is easily as good.
