Used these rods on Lake Superior for several weeks. The EVA grips are comfortable even during long sessions. The stainless steel guides hold up well in cold water and the reel seat stays secure. Great for downrigger trolling with salmon and stripers.
Kylie Springer –
Solid performance in windy conditions. The double-foot guides reduce line tangles and the rod feels balanced. A bit heavy for short trips, but perfect for serious trolling.
Joseph Hart –
Felt a noticeable improvement in control when using the downrigger setup. The Fuji-style reel seat locks tightly and the titanium oxide guides resist abrasion well. Highly recommend for Great Lakes anglers.
Ruth Terry –
Good build quality and reliable in practice. The rod handles heavy line loads without flexing. Slightly stiff at the tip, but that’s expected for a downrigger rod.
