  • No Packaging
Style: Squadron Iii Size: 12' - Heavy - 20-40lb - 2pc
The rod arrived on time, the price was great but it was scratched due to no packaging at all and a couple of bent eyes. The only thing that protected it, as you can see, was the ripped flimsy plastic bag. I gues a cardboard tube was too expensive to use...

  • Well made
Style: Squadron Iii Size: 11' - Medium Heavy - 15-30lb - 2pc
Really good rod. It has good power to get baits out far, but still sensitive enough to see bites.

  • Great rods
Style: Squadron Iii Size: 8' - Medium - 12-20lb - 2pc
Have bought the 8,9,10 foot mediums. They are very light. Eyelets are very robust and strong. The reel seats and threads are still plastic with a paper thin chrome wrap. They cast fantastic with different reels. They are on the stiffer side but when a 30 inch, marauding bluefish slams you, you'll be happy its stiffer. Then 10 foot medium launches 4 ounces really well. Im always 100 to 120 yards with that weight and im certainly no great caster. The 8 and 9 foot rods do nicely when fishing artificials. Stiff enough to jig with and with enough give to keep jerkbaits and plugs feeling and looking real in the water. If you want the super sensitivity of an ultralight, get special line and learn how to use your fingers. I've had a mixed bag of deliveries with Amazon fishing rods. The ones that are shipped with ups,fed ex, Amazon always come in just a plastic bag regardless of rod brand. The ones that have shipped with USPS always come in a box. When buying Amazon rods now, I always check the shipping and if it says shipped via usps(shipping couriers aren't always visible) I buy from that seller. ... show more
