Design flaw in my opinion

Gordon

Just took it out for it's first use and found the last eye on the tip is larger than the next to last eye. This allows the 3/16s bullet slip weight to pass through and tie knots in the stranded line.

Compact rod for light tackle fishing

Got this rod for my freshwater light tackle and saltwater UL set up. Pairs well with the Penn Spinfisher VI 2500. The rod case it comes with is very sturdy and is padded at the ends with foam to protect the rod ends.

Need a rod to stash in the carry-on and get some casts in while on the family vacation? This does the job and does it well.

Pulling a long weekend walking the sand in the Gulf for snook and reds? Been there, done that, and all with this rod.

No room in the car? Like to carry a rod for those - "Hey, there's a body of water that looks fishy" moments, this is read more it.

I bought this because I was looking for an easily packable rod for a fishing trip to Cabo. Target species were Sierra Mackerel, Red Snapper and other like rockfish averaging 3-5#, using jigging, trolling and casting with cut bait. The second day out while jigging with a hoochie, the rod snapped just above the third eye from the tip. Also, the ferrules are not snug enough, and the read more rod sections won't stay in line, and constantly work themselves loose. The loose ferrules were mentioned in another person's review. I should have taken heed.

Great buy.

Bought the MH 3 piece rod for fishing on a trip to Marco island. I paired it with a 4000 reel and it performed flawlessly. Very impressed!

Great Inshore Rod!

So far, I have really enjoyed using this rod. It has the feel of a 1 piece and is very sensitive. I've caught jacks, bluefish, permit, whiting, and more! My only issue is it's not quite as strong as I thought it would be, which is technically my fault for not getting the MH instead of the M. Regardless a great rod overall and I would highly recommend it!

Great travel rod!

Very good 3pc travel rod, strong to handle big Florida snook or redfish!
I like much better this 3 pc than other 4 pc rods.
Fits easy in overhead compartment on plane and no TSA questions!

Great Rod

Purchased one of these travel rods to pair with a Shimano IX4000R spinning reel for a Florida Keys trip. The rod handled well and landed some hard hitting Jack's. My son and I found a school near a bridge and the rod landed consecutive Jack's of various sizes! They gave the rod a beating and it held up. Also, the sections of the rod never separated. I was impressed with the rod. read more We loaded 20lb braid and 20lb floro top shot that was smooth casting for the rod. This was our light rig and we used it the most. It's a fun rod!

Exactly what I needed

Upcoming trip to Eleuthera required a new rod, exactly what I needed. Was so nice it inspired me to get a new reel as I couldn’t put an old reel on such a nice rod. Thank you!

Took it to Hawaii

I am pleased with this rod. The case is solid and the components of the rod are of good quality. I paired it with a Daiwa Legalis 4000 C and it felt balanced and cast well off the reefs and rocks pitching lures in Kauai. The rod handled a 4ft Trumpet fish with no problem. Make sure the pieces of the rod are firmly in place before casting. This is true for any rod that comes in sections. read more I will take this rod with me next time I travel to Florida and put it through the paces there. For inshore fishing it works.

Bought these for my wife

Would the M-H rod work for flat-fall jigging? Looking for a rod to take to Panama, to fish 4oz flat-falls.
