  • Unbelievable value. Great first rod or replacement rod that does not break the bank...
For the price, I m not sure you can find a better combo. Rod: 2 piece, ultra light action. Perfect for poppers, flies and bugs. Should be able to handle a nice sized bass or crappie. Real cork grip. Reel: Convertible left/right. Smooth action, non-reversing switch. Light action with a smooth silky spin. Drag works well. Overall : If you're looking for a 2 piece travel rod, or a new "old friend" to take to the lake, you can't go wrong here. ... show more

  • Nice rod.
Got this for a second trout rod while backpacking and camping great size and action to the rod. The reel isn't the smoothest, but isn't a terrible reel. I swapped it for another reel i had.

  • Great multi purpose little rod
This is the second of these rods I have purchased. The first was for my daughter because she was having some trouble casting under trees and cover with her 7 ft medium rod. This is now her go to rod and she uses it all the time. I have a slip bobber with 4LB test mono on it and it casts great. The bobber stops do not get hung up at all on the casts. I liked hers so much that I bought another one for myself. I enjoy ultra light fishing mainly for the increased casting distance. My normal rod is 7 feet and I was getting tired of constantly taking off my slip bobber to use bass lures. I use this exclusively for using lures without a bobber. It casts well and because it is small can be used anywhere. I put 15 LB braid on here and it casts well. I will eventually get a bait caster for larger lures but this works great for the .5 oz lured and smaller, which is what I use 90% of the time. It is a perfect little rod at a great price. UPDATE: I had to get a new reel after less than a year for the rod. The reel that came with it became very "jerky." I took it apart and tried oil and grease but it still was not smooth. For the price, the rod alone is worth it, but the reel didn't hold up long term. I got another inexpensive reel and use this exclusively for panfish off the shore and on my kayak. It works very well with small 1/64 oz jig heads and a float. ... show more

  • Do Not Buy Based on Description
This rod/reel is not as advertised. The product description on Amazon matches the tag on the rod, so this is a manufacturer error. This rod is NOT made from fiberglass; it’s made from graphite. You can tell this when you pull the two shafts apart, the mortise end of the top piece of the rod is exposed graphite. This rod is all NOT an ultralight in terms of flex or action. The flex is stiffer than all of my other ultralights, and the action is far too fast (this also help to indicate that it is not fiberglass, as glass rods have a much slower action). In addition, the reel is a throwaway. I completely understand that I’m only paying $23 for this combo. The reel isn’t the reason for the low rating or the return. But it’s a very low quality reel. About the only thing that was positive was the cork grips, but you can get $12-15 rods of better quality with cork grips of the same caliber. Doesn’t do any favors here. I returned this to Amazon for a full refund. I’ll be using the refund to get an Eagle Claw fiber glass ultralight, of which I already own one (light rod), and that is a significantly better rod for the money. Not to mention, at the time of this review, is $3 less than this combo from Southbend. ... show more

  • Nice set
This is a very comfortable router. Real shut up is the cash feels good in your hands. Nice quality shut up. I am very happy with it so far after you took it twice on the river.

  • The reel is a little sketchy
Reel is slowly getting looser and the bail needs to be flipped manually more often than not.

  • A steal.
If you are looking for a micro-light fishing rod and reel and don't want to spend a lot or have a kid who would tear them up I recommend these. I totally forgot about South Bend fishing before I saw these. They are very nice and inexpensive. One note, if you have a Dunham's Sports near you go there and get them for $5-6 dollars less. ... show more
