5.0 out of 5 stars Good rod, and great deal, June 26, 2008

This may be the cheapest rod you can ever find. Plus, it is distributed in sportsauthority stores, about 9.99 each. So you can try them in person if you have sportsauthority nearby. Many people doubt them just because of the too low price tag, which are cheaper than many children rods. In fact, they are really decent rods. Shimano's catolog even mentions that this series is good for light salt water fishing, which it does. I mainly fish in Long Island. and no rust is found in guides after one year use.

I have three FX rod, 7' 6.6' and 5'. Because of their prices, I am not forced to take much care of them. I just put them into trunk, and never worry about them. after 1 year use, there is no indication of damage. Believe me, they are sensitive, and light.

I highly recommend them. Their too low prices should not be the reason keeping you from them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great value, August 28, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This is a low end Shimano Rod. It was exactly what I needed as a pair of
trolling rods in terms of stiffness at base and flexibility at the tip.
I use it for both mono and for leadcore. I also use them for bait fishing
and jigging. I would not recommend them for flipping/casting as they are
thick diameter and not as light on the wrist and Shimano has lots of better
rods for that. But in terms of price and quality, for my purposes,
they can't be beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a Good Rod, May 25, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
i have another rods, but when i used for the first time i am really surprised , you can compare with another expensive rods with the same results, it is light and strong, this is really a good rod for fresh and salt water (use the medium heavy is really functional in both environments) .
