Keith Quinn –
Fished on a rocky bank during summer and caught a 20-pound catfish. The rod held up well under pressure and didn’t break. The grip is comfortable and the guides stayed secure even with heavy pulls.
Bernadette Wallace –
Great for tough conditions. The graphite-fiberglass blend gives good sensitivity and strength. It’s a bit heavy for light fishing, but perfect for catfish in rough environments.
Chloe Parsons –
Used it on a dam with lots of debris. The rod didn’t bend or break during a long fight. The rubberized grip provides excellent leverage and the stainless steel guides stayed in place.
