Cameron White –
Great rod for beach fishing. Easy to cast and very sensitive. Caught several perch and corbina with live bait. The cork grip is comfortable and the action is smooth for light lures.
Elizabeth McGrath –
Works well in shallow waters near rocky areas. The 8’6″ length is perfect for reaching crevices. Sensitive enough to feel small bites, though not ideal for heavy fishing.
Thomas Kerr –
Used it on a coastal trip and caught a halibut with a small grub. The guides are solid and the rod doesn’t bend easily. Lightweight and easy to handle in windy conditions.
