KastKingProgressive Glass Fishing Rods, Spinning & Casting Rods, Strong, 100% Phenolic Glass Blanks 2Pcs Pack from 5’6” to 10’, Stainless Steel Guide, Durable P-Cork Handles

For the price the KastKing Progressive Glass Fishing Rods are excellent. They have a good look and finish due to materials used to put the rods together. Along with the good quality workmanship the fishing rods are an exceptional value purchase. Looking forward to use in light line applications.**4/19/23 Update - Amazon did an excellent return/exchange/shipping of replacement rods in the correct 7’6” length I originally ordered. Changed my rating from four to five stars.Four Star review because I did not receive the actual rod in the length I ordered. Ordered three 7’6” spinning rods and received three 7’0” spinning rods. The packaging sticker on the black KastKing shipping tube had a sticker with the correct information for the 7’6” rod, but all three rods inside the tubes were 7’0” and not the 7’6” length that I needed & ordered. Will try to exchange for the correct length because I believe these fiber glass rods will be great for lighter line applications with lures and bait fishing.Also ordered the rod in the 8’0” spinning rod length and will be keeping it as was the correct item and length. Note: Have used mostly Ugly Stik rods throughout my years of fishing and wanted to try other brands to be used for pier fishing to surf fishing along the Los Angeles area beaches.Will be pairing these new rods with 3000 and 4000 size reels from Penn, Daiwa, Quantum, and Pflueger. Want to use in light line surf fishing for barred surf perch using sand crabs as bait and for 1/2 ounce Yo-Zuri floating lure fishing for halibut. Will update review after a few surf fishing sessions.

Very good rod would recommend and fairly cheap high quality

Good rod but a little bulky & heavier then I like all in all good for the price

Packaging was great. Loved the tube it came in. I got the 8ft heavy for inshore/on shore salt fishing.It did have the double fixed guides, which was solid. Everything was in tact, no cracks in the blank.Took this out on kayak today for some fluke, stripers, and blues. It was extremely sensitive for being a heavy rod. I was able to jig and plug top water just fine. The rod loads great, so the casting distance was surprisingly good. I felt that it was responsive and handled well.I got compliments on the rod too. People thought it was a more expensive rod.I'll likely end up getting smaller sizes because the price is so good.

Great quality well made

Im a pretty avid fisherman to say the least. Ive had my share of good & bad purchases over the yrs with various products & this is my 1st time ever writing a review. Anyhow, yesterday, i finally got the rod our of the tube & got it paired up w a reel. Tube packaging was impressive. The rod,I figd would do OK for trout, not so sure on reds- but hey, it was cheap so-Well i got my 20lb braid set up & halfway thru the spooling i had a small line twist on the tip of the rod so i gave it a little whip under & over. (Somethin ive done on the water a thousand times). WHEN I WHIPPED IT, IT JUST BROKE RIGHT ABOVE THE REEL-2in above the "cork" handle!! No stress, duress, beating, banging around, Nothing. Im telling myself it had broken during shipping- but the tube had ZERO signs of that.Decided to read some reviews & said wow, maybe the rod itself is Just a piece of crap in general. Life goes on. But i had to share that one. Wow. For context: I Been doing this my whole life. Im the guy with 40 rigs on the ceiling & 25each on 2 walls. Some nice$$ some not- nvr had this happen- Ill leave it at that.

Bought this to test on the river for chasing musky. The spinning rod is a bit floppy but was able to cast it all day all weekend with no issues throwing heavy cowgirls and rubber baits. I wish the spinning rod size was available in a fast action like the baitcaster.

Love the cork handles, very comfortable. the color is a very nice navy blue, not flashy at all. pairs really nice with a size 3000 reel and really like the tube it came in, defintely saving it for when i need to travel with it. action is great and handles fish well
