My state allows you to fish with two rods, and I often hike into one particular lake for trout fishing. I bought the first one of these because I could fit it in my pack to have a second rod without having to carry two 2-piece rods in my hands while hiking, and I was pleased enough with the performance of the first rod that I bought a second one so I could put both in my bag and hike in with my hands unencumbered. That second one was a real disappointment; the cone part of the reel has flown off when casting three or four times now. So, quality is definitely kinda iffy. The action of the rod itself is decent, definitely on the lighter side, and if you get a snag and start jerking on it, yeah, it's definitely gonna break, but that's kinda to be expected with a cheap telescopic rod. The first rod would have rated 4 or 5 stars, the second only 1 or 2, so I averaged it out to a 3-star rating. Maybe you'll get lucky!
