4 Stars My Favorite Snook and Redfish Rod, 2010-05-25
Reviewer: Mike

I bought this rod after handling it at a local tackle shop. The rod was extremely light and perfect length to pair up with my Shimano Stratic Spinning Reel. I have been using it for about 2 years now with no problems. The rod may be a bit too light to get good hook sets when fishing lures on bigger fish, but the rod I have is rated to handle smaller fish anyhow. I plan to move over to quantum reels for this rod in the future, but for now I love this setup for beach fishing, sight fishing to reds, and more light tackle fun!
