Just wanted a few extra walleye trolling rods on my 16ft. These rods feel amazing in every way. Only negative side I have on anything it that I’m not a fan of the triangle shaped for grip. I ended up sanding min back to round. Other than that I’d buy more

I purchased 8 of these rods in the last 6 months because they are telescopic, however, I had one have an eyelet break already. The return policy is horrible, you pay to ship it to them and have to include $19.99 return fee for them to send it back, WHILE it's less than 1 year old.

Very nice walleye rod strong where it counts but still great action. Fairly priced at FishUSA

Excellent rod for the price. So far Ive had zero issues and it works just as well as the trolling rods Ive paid twice as much for. Highly recommend.

I have been using the 8'6" telescoping version for around 9-10 years for pulling boards for striped bass on fresh water lakes. Best was a 32 lb. striper and a 45 lb. blue catfish (by-catch while trolling live bait). I have never broken a rod and I'm rough on them. Only complaints I have are that they changed the color of the outer paint or finish over the years and that finish quality. They used to be green and the last ones I bought were more brown or gold. The finish also is flaking/peeling off on the rods, but of course it doesn't affect their performance. Still, I love these rods and own 20 of them, but regularly use 14. The length gives me the leverage I need and the medium action is firm enough to set the hook with a proper drag setting, but soft enough to not rip the hook out on a strike. I'd give these rods a 5 if the finish wasn't peeling, but overall, I'm very satisfied. The price point, even though it's gone up about 50% over the years, is still below other similar rods.
