Excellent rods for the price By TVFinAK from Alaska on 09/22/2007 Cons: Reoveable fighting butt, Warranty Best Uses: Red and Silver Salmon Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought a couple of these in 8 & 9 wt. for red and silver salmon fishing - mainly next year as we are almost into winter here in Alaska. I catch a LOT of fish in the summer and put my rods to really hard use each year - more than most fishermen will see in a lifetime.
Rods look very nice at the sale price. The heavy duty aluminum cases are very nice - much better than you would expect for a rod in that price range. Match one of these rods up with a Okuma Helios reel and you can have an excellent salmon setup for around $200.
Negatives: No stated warranty I can find and fighting butts are screwed on - sure to get lost on the first trip unless you Loctite the threads.

By Horsefarmfox from Huntington, WV on 09/12/2007 Pros: Accurate Casting, Durable, Flexible, Good Tip Action, Sensitive Best Uses: Fly Fishing, River Fishing Describe Yourself: Casual Fisher Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I was really happy when I received the rod. It was a great price and while I was a little nervous about the made in China thing and the "you get what you pay for" rule, I discovered that it was nicely finished, light, responsive and had lots of casting strength. The reel seat is beautiful and the rod tube it came in would withstand about anything.
