Got this combo right around Thanksgiving. For the price I’m amazed at the rod and reel quality. Strung it up with line and already caught 8-10 bass with it. I got 20lb braid with 12 lb FC leader and I can feel every nibble and hit! Reel us great casting did to!

I bought this for a Christmas gift for my son .tried to test drive it but wife wouldn’t go for it . Rod & reel had a grate feel believe it’s a quality set up

First when I got the rod shipped the box was broken and pole exposed don't know what shape the rod was in and the the reel showed and was so excited our line on it and took it out to try. Set the real the way i liked it and first cast line got caught in between reel housing and spool and I was like WTH... removed the jam and tried again and it happened again tried it like 5 more times and once again same issue. Love the feel of the rod but as for the reel threw it in the box and never used it again. So a few months passed decided to give a whirl again and first cast jammed again so im pretty much done with this companies reels ill always buy the rods but as for using the reals never again Love this company and love what they do for the passion for fishing and the rods are primo just don't think they got the reel thing down when you look at the reel reviews

Love it. Smoothest Casting Rod I’ve ever used.

Used the reel one day brake doesn't seem to work and when the button is pressed in 50% of the reel will not in-gauge and just spins rod seems okay but the reel is awful hopefully we can get something worked if not this will be my first and last favorite purchase!
