I have several clarus, st. croix, g-loomis rods and this rod I would rank close to them. It is one of those rare time where you get more than what you paid for.The rating on the rod it spot on, it loads well with smaller weights but still have the sensitivity with the larger jig heads to feel soft bites. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful  Saltwater, By Apollo legend "Apollo legend" (Georgia) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Shimano Solora 2 Piece Spinning Rod (Sports) Under 20 bucks, nothing to lose but i teamed it with a Daiwa Sweepfire 4000B and it is a good rod. Caught a nice trout tossing a doa shrimp and used it to kill the Whiting at my secret hole. I'm going to buy at least 3 more. Good Rod! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful Performs like an expensive rod, This review is from: Shimano Solora 2 Piece Spinning Rod (Sports) I had this rod for four years until I broke it. The action is great, it casts with great ease and the power of it is unexpected. It wasn't from fishing that it broke, it was from me not being careful with it and banged it against the ceiling breaking the tip. I'll be buying another one soon. I used it exclusively in saltwater for two years before I used it in fresh so as long as you take care of the rod and give it a good rinse afterwards it will last for a very long time. So I would say get one for the price it is by far the best in it's price class. |

| 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful Good for fishing piers, etc, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Ready 2 Fish Surf and Pier Spinning Saltwater Combo with Tackle Kit (Sports) Amazon's description is not very complete, so I thought I would add a few things:The rod is 7 feet long. The label says it's Medium/Heavy Action. It is intended for 12-30 Lb line and weights of 1-3 oz. The reel is mid sized and holds 275 yards/12 lb line, or 185yd/17lb or 110yd/25lb. The reel is loaded with monofilament that looks a little lighter than 20lb. I'd guess it to be about 15lb??? Everything looks like it's well made. I haven't fished with it yet, but I'm predicting it will not cast as far as my 13ft Alvey! It would be better for piers where long casts are unnecessary and the Alvey would just be in the way. From the beach, it should be fine for casting into the first set of breakers. Some people prefer a lighter outfit for surfperch, but I fish in heavy surf and like a rod that casts bigger weights than a trout rod. The tackle box is surprisingly well stocked, but the stuff is too heavy for West Coast surf fishing. It will be more...

Eventually he bought me this for my birthday. I was a complete nnovice but realized that the rod handle kept on falling out. Eventually The handle fell into the water because there was no bback to the handle holding it in. I bought a cheaper smaller reel and have used it with success catchinng Largemouth bass and, when I go for saltwater spot and fluke. If the reel works well you should buy this combo. surf fishing, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Ready 2 Fish Surf and Pier Spinning Saltwater Combo with Tackle Kit (Sports) The price was the best part. It does all that it claims at a reasonable price. I got this as an easy to pack surf rod. My regular rod took up the trunk leaving no room for luggage. |
