   NOT a TRUE 2 Piece, but we’ll worth the money..!
   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.MechanicallyAll 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.DurabilityI 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.ValueWhat 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.CustomizingI may wrap the grips with “Red, White & Blue” paracord. Plenty of YouTube vids available.

   Excellent reel!
   Excellent when paired with the PENN Squall 50vsw 2 speed reel. I have caught many Wahoos and tuna on this rig. Never fails! Highly recommend both the rod and reel.

   Awesome
   These rods are awesome for the price- I bought two and am using them to troll for pelagics. They are holding up nicely. Will definitely buy more in the future

   great,sturdy,well packed and protected also looks very nice.
   So far it looks and feel great, it wS packed with care with it,s own equipment, a protection also for the tip.I put it together very quickly and all fits perfectly. Now need to sea trial. Waited this one to arrive to order a second one. They should have the straight and bent buts interchangeable, would be a plus.

   First Impression: Good quality
   It came in two pieces within the same box. It was well wrapped in a rod sleeve. The tip had a special dense foam protective cap as well. Very well packaged. On first inspection the rod looks well made and sturdy and does not look cheap at all. Compared to a $200 rod i just bought by Diawa, I cant tell the difference. Will update if anything breaks.

   Good deal.
   I wasn’t expecting a high quality rod because of price…. But I’ll definitely be buying a couple more. Very well made and very strong.

   Very happy with product. Will not deal with this seller again. After saying it was shipped, when I tried tracking, nothing would work for another week. It was not shipped but seller did not have enough integrity to give an honest answer. My complaints got me a discount but I ordered the fishing rod when I needed it, not 2 weeks later. My advice, find an honest seller

    Have not used it yet but tested with line hooked up to 85lbs. Held up fine. You can adjust your reel alignment to the rod but make sure it is tightened down really will as the locking nuts can come loose if just hand tightened.
