I've been fishing salmon to panfish and always been satisfied with these rods. Just bought 4 more elite casting rods for walleyes.

love this rod I good feel...love the durability of it I have take this rod a many trips and has not ever failed me like others that I have had....yes its not a top of the line not the most sensitive of others I have used but it gets the job done and would buy more of them in the future for my kids and guest on the boat.

I've had the Elite 7' Ultra Light and 7' Medium actions (2 of each) two years now. Initially purchased them for trout, but they are a hoot for large shad on the Columbia River, anchored in current. Paired with Abu Garcia Revo S, they don't stand a chance.

I haven't had a chance to use these yet, but the ungly stiks I've used in the past have been very durable, good fishing rods. The transaction went smooth and they were delivered promptly with no problems.

I was loving this rod till the end broke off the cork handle. After investigating it looks like the cork is not well glued to the blank at the bottom and is loose. Not sure if repair or warranty is the best option.
