Nice ultralight rod, reel has some issues. I received the first rod broken because of poor shipping, so had to re order a new one and ship back the broken one. When I finally got the good one I put it to use right away. It is delicate and makes catching a 2 lb trout feel like you are landing a 5 pounder. This makes for a fun fight. It also comes pre-loaded with 4 lb stren line which is a very good feature because you don’t have to worry about loading your reel when you get it.
The best value around, without exception. I had two of the predecessor to this rig, which was called the “MicroSpin”. Lasted me a good 5 years. I have caught literally everything with the prior rig, from yellowtail to snook to 20# yellow jack. For $25 with a full spool of line, a rod, and a reel, this is pretty much the best deal ever to happen to fishing.
very good rod & reel I prefer Shakespeare ultra-light rods and reels for their very sensitive quality. You can feel any little bite with quick reaction. Worth every penny!!!!!
