- JJacobVerified Buyer1 week agoRated 1 out of 5 starsHorrible Customer Service
I had ordered this rod and reel combo because it had great reviews and seemed promising. Upon arrival the pole was snapped in half. After many attempts to contact customer service, I am still left with no response. I wouldn't recommend ordering anything from them.

Absolutely love this combo. Super user friendly, and caught my PB (6.4lbs) on my first day using it!!
- EPEd P.Verified Reviewer1 month agoRated 5 out of 5 starsLove it
Bought this as I needed a new baitcaster reel. The combo was on sale, still need a new reel, but this combo has been my go to! That reel I need will be an Abu Garcia, hands down. I bought from Amazon, will leave this review there too.
1st - My Ex GF (co-parenting) brought the kids to my fishing spot for a visit. She wanted to cast. I adjusted brakes accordingly. She’s never used a Baitcaster, NO BACKLASH! That completely sold me. My kids first baitcaster will be an Abu Garcia.
2- This rod is my go to for many things, but in just the short 3 weeks I’ve had it, Largemouth in heavy weeds and cover, the rod holds well and drags them out, keeps the pressure and hook sets, no issues with reel seating coming lose, no cracks, pops, or noises.
Buy it!!! Well worth the money.
- KKKevin K.Verified Buyer3 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsFantastic for pulling flies
We do a lot of river fishing and were looking for a rod and reel that could make pulling flies in the spring for walleyes easier. What a great set. We bought four. Super light and super sensitive. You can’t go wrong!
- MBMark B.Verified Buyer11 months agoRated 5 out of 5 starsPerfect first baitcaster
This is my first baitcaster, I’ve been using spinning reels the longest. Arrived in mail in great condition, I removed all zip ties applied for shipping and properly put it together. Ran line and fished the next day. I’ve had great results and it’s been an incredible first baitcaster. Smooth retrieve, good action. Definitely recommend.
