I was looking for a practical camping/packing fishing rod and had tried the pocket fisherman (a decent little product that would get you by in a pinch) but wanted something that allowed me to actually fish. I took it to a nearby pond and strung it with some 6# line and put a 1/16th crappie jig on it and worked the brush piles along the shore. Caught 3 decent little crappie and a handful of bluegills. The light pole did really well with fish around 12-16oz and the reel handled pulling them in with ease. Excellent for the little stuff! I switched over to a 1/4oz Mepp's Black Fury spinner bait and had no issues casting 30-40yds off bank and the retrieve was nice and smooth while the rod was sensitive enough to transmit bites to my hands. In 30 minutes I had landed 4 large mouths between 3/4# to 1 1/2# with a bit of work, but the rod and reel held up with no issues. I switched to a 1/4oz popper and started working the moss beds.... this is where I got the workout at. Even with the forgiving rod and a wicked blood knot strong enough to hold under the toughest conditions, I fought a bass in the 4-5# range for a solid 2 minutes before he took my bait (the only one I had with me). I haven't tried any of the hybrid lines on this yet, but have a feeling that if employed it would yield better results than monos did and most likely would have landed the lil lunker.
Pros: Compact, very light weight with plenty of power to bring in small to medium fish. The ease of casting is very good to excellent. The rod's sensitivity is very good to excellent. The retrieve is very good.
Cons: Small spool equals short heavy line or long light line. I may try some 8# next time and see if it yields better results on the larger fish (provided I can keep them from running too far)
Overall: Outstanding combo that breaks down into a case the size of a backgammon board and easily stows in a framed backpack with all the power you would need to land fish 3#'s and smaller all day. Very highly recommend this to anyone looking for a rugged fishing rig that you can count on in the woods for extended periods of time (we usually do 10 day hikes covering 90-120 miles)

Customer Review: I've caught fish with it...
ButlerGrafx
It works!
I'm brand new to fishing, so I can't compare this to other rods. But when I decided to try my hand at fishing on a recent camping trip, I bought this rod, and was ultimately successful in catching fish.It can be intimidating trying to learn how to fish in today's age of limitless youtube videos and online articles, and there is an overwhelming array of vocabulary that makes it hard to understand what they're even talking about! But here's what put fish on my table while camping at high-mountain lakes stocked with trout: I got a spool of 2 lb monofilament line, a set of swivels, and a handful of spinners advertised to be "irresistible" to trout. I researched how to install the line on the reel, set the tension, tie the swivels, cast, and fish with the spinners. I also got a set of fishing pliers and a fillet knife, hoping I would actually catch some fish. And of course a fishing license!I hooked my shirt more times than I hooked fish, but I had a ton of fun learning how to catch fish, and can confirm that fresh-caught trout makes one heck of a rewarding meal at camp!UPDATE: After a few more fishing trips, I learned from other fishermen/women that apparently I had the handle on the wrong side of the spool and was holding the rod upside down. Apparently you should have the spool and guide loops oriented beneath the rod, not facing up towards yourself. I don't think it makes a huge difference, but switching the orientation means you have to switch the direction of cranking to reel in the line... If you're brand new to fishing, make sure to orient the spool and handle correctly the first time, before you start building muscle memory!Also, make sure to check that the rod is snuggly assembled once every several casts. Otherwise you'll eventually heave the upper segments of the rod into the lake, then you'll have to frantically reel it back while hoping that nobody else saw your blunder.
