| Has anyone tried these rods? Look for a extra rod for fishing partners. Or is this rod complete junk? The specs look good for the money
Thanks |

Location: Ashland WI | I have put probably close to 150 hours on one this year.
Works just fine.
Actually just bought another one. |

Location: Almond, WI | I have a MH I use for muskies in early spring and large bass baits the rest of the year, works fine. I think they're kind of heavy weight-wise but totally fishable. Just bought an 8' H the other day, have it rigged as a sucker rod right now (figuring it is a composite rod so it shouldn't get too brittle in the cold, and pretty cheap so if I snap it no big deal). |

| I ordered 2 of the 8fts. I'll see how they work out and hold up. I'm surprised i cannot find much info on them online or YouTube. I should do a full review after a few months of fishing. Not everyone can afford a 300$ musky rod. |

Location: Merrill, Wisconsin | They're good rods, not any crazy guides or any crazy features but they are good rods. The only thing I don't like is they have super long handles. And i'm not a fan of that. But otherwise, not a bad rod! |

I actually really like the long handles. |

| Ive got 4 years on mine as a partner rod. Nothing wrong with them, a little heavy and not super nice or anything. It gets it done though and its caught some nice fish. |

Location: NE PA | I'll echo what others have said here. They are a no-frills, inexpensive, quality rod for the $$$. I have an 8'6" xxh that is a backup rubber rod, and an 8' xh that is a backup for gliders/topwater and GF use. work well for that. The cork handle is a little on the small side if you want to be picky and they are heavier than most, but far from junk. |
