Great Starter
May 29, 2020
I got this as my first baitcaster and couldn't be happier. I got the 7' MH version and use it spooled with 12lb mono. I have used this combo in a lot of different applications. Used it for largemouth, smallies, stripers, rock fish, surf perch (yes from the surf and it was great). This combo has done amazing. Reel is a tank although worth cleaning if it feels rough. The rod is though but guides are flimsy which is the only negative I have encountered so far.
ProsSolid reel, fun first combo
ConsEyes are fragile

Great beginner baitcasts combo
March 25, 2020
Great for first time fisherman learning how to use a baitcast. Feels alittle cheap in the hand but that's expected for a reel in this price range. Overall good find for beginers

This is a great starter combo for baitcasting beginners. I bought this combo when I started out. I have since upgraded but I would recommend this abu combo to anyone who is just starting out on baitcasters

the first baitcaster i have ever used. been using for around 2 years and is holding up nicely.
Proscheap nice aesthetics

Tried only the reel
May 28, 2018
The reel is nice quality compared to the price. I can see that the drag is not so good (or maybe it's only the item I got). I purchased a taller handle and I use it for light jigging now instead of casting. it's light and fast retrieving.
Proslight fast retrieve
Consdrag is weak

Great combo for the price.

Can't beat the value of this rod. Has a great action and can throw even the lightest of soft plastics. Reel is also very smooth. Would recommend as a decent spare rod for the price.
