The cheapest acceptable travel rod - D. Pavlov, Sep 06, 2009

Unlike all telescopic rods, this one is a sensitive enough to be fished with. It has a decent quality, and the only warning I have for the future buyers is to assemble it tightly, otherwise it may fall apart during a strong cast. It happened to me once, but I was lucky having strong braided line, so I did not lose a fallen piece in the river. After I snugged it in more tightly, I never had a problem with it. When disassembled, it fits in the smallest backpack. The clear case is a bit tight, but it is needed to protect it from other objects in your backpack, and I also use rubber rings to secure pieces together.
The rod is strong enough to pull several pounds fish (or piece of wood, if you are less lucky) with some precautions.
Overall, you can't find better rod for the price! Don't buy those telescopic rods - you would not feel a single bite!

Got Brookies? - A. Allen, Sep 05, 2008

I have used this rod for many years. I pack it right in the bottom of my tackle box. So it's ready to go any where any time, long as it's Rocky Mountain beaver ponds fishing for brook and rainbow trout.
A common misconception about these rods, that I often hear from friends and family, is that these sectional rods often come apart when casting, well that has not been the case for me. I have never had a problem casting with this rod, or any other problems with it for that matter. But the part I love the most is being able to pack it down into my tackle box with very little effort.

Great Deal on a Great Rod - Rodney D. Veldhuzen, Aug 28, 2008

I owned an older version of this rod for several years and had purchased a different make and model for my wife to backpacking. After two years of disappointment, I sought out the Shakespeare and to my delight it the same design as the one I have loved and fished with for serveral years. It has great action, easily assembled and for those who like to get away from the rest of the fishing public to find the good spots, this is a great rod to have along.
