Pros & Cons
Pros
Using these rods for leadcore out on inline planer boards for salmon fishing on lk michigan. Action is really good for dragging boards and fighting coho/king salmon. The rod has more flex than my lamiglass classic but stiff enough to handle the fish!
The pole is very comfortable and has great action from the poles. The packaging was good, the product is a very good value for the money. Fit and finish is good and comes with warranty.
I have 2 of these now and would recommend them to anyone who trolls with downriggers or dipsy divers. Works well with down riggers. Paired with an okuma magda pro 15dxt reel and it works great!
Cons
These are inexpensive rods but once i saw them, they looked like they'd break easily. There are crooked eyes and they are not all inline. I feel someone just palmed off on a broken rod.
