Testimonials

I was sceptical at first, given its size and price, but it has seriously impressed me. For such a compact and affordable rod, it packs a surprising amount of power. I use it for smaller fishing trips, and it’s now my favorite for quick, on-the-go outings.

My husband was in love with this combo kit that I got for Father's Day we actually went out and caught fish with it the next day he was pleased with the performance of the pole

Expected it to be weak, but it’s held up to every challenge so far. For its size and price, this rod is impressively durable.

Took these on a camping trip with a few guys and they held up great. Everything you need (aside from skill which we certainly lacked) to catch a fish.
