I have 12 of these rods now. Started with 1, liked it and bought more.. and more... and more.. i kayak fish and these shrink down small so I can easily carry 5 rods in my fishing crate in my trunk and transfer it to my boat. I have big pike (10 pounds), big bass, big pickerel and have not broken a single rod. Worse that has happened so far is one rod tip popped off one one (fixed woth a tip repair kit), on another the black plastic insert on the tip came off and had to be glued on.. every collapsable off online retailers would snap or get stuck. These are perfect for bass fishing. I run them with either 10 or 30 poind braid and then wire leaders or 12 pound mono. I keep one setup for a spinnerbait. One for chatterbait, one with a snap for whopper ploppers and other lures, one for texas rig, one for tiny child, one for tubes, jerkbait... different variations based on toothy fish water or now. I run shimano 2500hd reels on them .
