  • A beefy Toyota Corolla
Pattern Name: Spinning Rod Style: 8' Medium Heavy -2pcs
Hard to beat for the price!! This rod isn’t anything special and that’s what I love about it. Handles up to 4oz decently, it’s a little wobbly not too stout, but perfect for cut bait fishing which is what I use it for. I’ve put this rod through it’s paces on the river striper fishing in some heavy current. Casts well enough I have it paired to a Quantim Optix 60 reel (another insane deal of a reel) with 50lb hi-vis braid. I even tried crab snaring with it, probably won’t do that again as I’m throwing at least 8oz snares BUT it handled it lol. Also we landed this nice striper on the setup and it handled well. I’d say give it a go it’s a solid go to rod for bait fishing or to let a friend use and you don’t really need to worry about it getting messed up. ... show more

  • Needs a little quality control
Pattern Name: Spinning Rod Style: 8' Medium Heavy -2pcs
This Berkley ‘Power Series’ rod is definitely up to my needs for pulling through weeds and freshwater pond grass. I paired it with a Tsunami 5000 reel and 220 yds of heavy mono. I may change to 50lbs braid if the mono isn’t adequate. My goal is to keep this a low-cost rig for local ponds and weedy streams. The only obvious error in the rod is in the first (largest) eyelet. It’s about 10 degrees to the right of the centerline of the reel. It doesn’t seem to impact casting, but looks wonky. You would think that the manufacturer would have a fixture that would align the eyelet with the center of the reel mount. All things considered, it’s a near perfect match for my application and we’ll see how it performs when I hook into that 5lbs largemouth that’s waiting for me ... show more

  • Awesome Rod and does what it’s supposed to. Great price
Pattern Name: Spinning Rod Style: 8' Medium Heavy -2pcs
Amazing Berkeley Rod. Paired with a size 5000-7500 reel “I used an 6000” and you can shore, surf, pier or jetty fish with confidence. Love the white color it helps see big hits late at night and it’s very sturdy. Its tip is not as fast as an ugly stick but no where near as stiff as a down-rigger or jigging or trolling rod. With 20 lb line I was consistently tossing 40-60 yard casts easily with no worry of popping the line or snapping the rod with both 2 and 3oz weights and I would not hesitate to use 4oz as well. I casted bunker on large striper circle Hooks size 5/6 and 7 hooks so nice chunks and also whole squid and whole belly clams and it’s seems to cast the same distance unlike if it was a very soft fast flimsy tip which seems to cast farther with lighter bait and poor cast with heavy bait. This rod doesn’t care what on the end of the hook and cast equally impressive. Landed a larger stripper first nite out from a jetty and landed 2 huge sand sharks approaching 20lbs and the Rod handled them with ease. Ordering another one and going to pair it with a penn 7500 reel with bait runner. Just to good of a Rod to not have 2. This finishes my salt water package now with two 8’ three 7’ one 9’ and one 10’. After falling for these 8’ I’ve relegated my trusty 7’ foot rods to lure only like poppers and sp minnow and spoons. They seem to cast better with lures and the extra 1’ and stiffness of this 8’ berkley makes me feel confident that even a 40+ pound stripper is coming home with me and I’m not losing the rod or line or reel. Sometimes I don’t want to fish with a 10’ or even a 9’ Rod as they are big and clumsy and I don’t need 75-100 yard cast. 8’ is the perfect size to be nimble yet have the same ability in power as a nice 9 or 10’ with only minuscule less casting distance. It does make you feel a lot more secure versus having a 7’ which even ugly sticks and a nasty big gorilla blue or cow stripper I’ve seen them snap in two love this rod!!!! Thanks Berkley for such a great rod and I’m a customer for life ... show more
