My wife bought this rod for me for my birthday . Went to a local lake to try it the sensitivity was awesome loved it. I have Fenwick but I will be buying more Favorite as I need them .
I brought this combo down the Baja Peninsula, and it performed amazingly. I fished with it for four weeks, and I had no issues. The next time we go down to the Baja Peninsula, I will bring this rod. This was the perfect rod for the trip. I caught spotted bay bass, corvina, Cubera snapper, barracuda, and even roosterfish. If you want an excellent rod for freshwater or saltwater under $100, get this rod.
Best crappie set up I’ve purchased.. talk about a bang for your buck! This rod has the best sensitivity out of any other rods I’ve tried, while having enough back to boat flip 12 inch crappie no problem. Looking forward to getting a 10ft rod.
Bought a defender casting rod at a local Field & Stream store. Had it just over a year was on vacation and set the hook on a 2lb bass. A simple sweeping style hookset much like with a spinning rod when I hear snap at the apex of the sweep. There goes half the rod sliding down the line. I take GREAT pride in caring for my equipment. I have many many rods that I use regularly and have had no problems with. I literally had used this one no more than 12 times. If I was at fault for the break I would admit it however this is clearly a quality issue and not my fault. When I emailed Favorite corporate I was offered a 20% discount voucher for a rod that was roughly a month out of warranty! Why would I want to invest more money in your product(s) after just losing $110?? How about a “good will” replacement rod…?
Been using favorite rods and reels for several months now and they are hands down my favorite and customer service is hands down the best in the business
