I bought a $40 combo S...hakespeare for my son and when he's not using it, I'm using it and between us we've caught about 50 fish in half a dozen trips. I've taken this rod with me many times trying to catch the more difficult fish but have yet to land one, but it's super light, easy to cast and the Daiwa 3000 reel I put on it works flawlessly. Just haven't caught a fish yet. Still when I broke the top piece, my fault completely, I bought a second one to replace the top and have a spare middle and bottom piece. Plus I now have 2 rod carrier. I think a better fisherman than me would do great with this. Regardless, it's a great rod that I could fish all day with. My son's rod/reel is smaller but weighs more and would not be great for all day use.

Haven't had the chance to use it yet. I will in February in... Honduras. It is a travel rod, looks to be of good quality. It has a nice feel and is well balanced.
