Cruiser Shadow Slow-Pitch Jigging Rod, Fuji Alconite K Guide, Toray 30 Ton+40 Ton Carbon Fiber Blank, Fuji DPS Reel Seat, 2-Piece Spinning and Casting Rod for Snapper, Grouper and Tuna Etc.

Majority of these reviewers aren't aware of what type of rod they have and how to even fish it. This is a slow pitch jigging rod and, for the price I paid, it's a great deal. Components are decent and build quality ain't half bad either -- clean glue job, straight eyes and reel seat.Bought a ml & mh casting. Mounted reels onto both and proceeded to pull with roughly 10-12lbs of drag several times. NICE parabolic bend! Not sure if I want to take the boat out to 300ft+ to test them for rockfish right now so will wait until nearshore opens up next spring. If they perform well dropping 150g-200g jigs into the canyon then I'd reckon these may be the best deals going right now for budget SPJ rods. We'll see...

Got the rod yesterday. Left the dock at 5am this morning. Shot out to a couple spots in close In 60-75 ft. 60gram jig. First 2 drops went good couple decent snapper. 3rd drop I got thumped and the rod snapped without hesitation. On the way out I was telling my buddy how I got a deal on this rod, and how beautiful it looked. I was super stoked about the purchase. Come to find out it had the shortest life of any rod I've EVER purchased. Might make a decent inshore rod, but has certainly not battle tested, and is not cut out for slow pitch jigging the reef. Especially when you never know what might wack that jig. In my case I never got to find out. As soon as it snapped my buddy grabbed the top half before I slid down beneath the water and that fish was back home in the rocks. Very disappointed in the integrity of this rod. Maybe there is too much focus on it being so light weight that they forgot that when your slow pitch jigging it's impossible to target a particular species, and with so many unknowns down there you have to build them able to withstand a decent fish when it decides to wack that jig. In this case I lost the fish, and my pride before the sun came up all the way. Totally unacceptable. I hope the spinning rod I also purchased holds up much better that this one did.

Bought 3 of these rods for slow jigging. One was broken in it's box (3 boxes). They are fragile, as these rods have to be very sensitive.What was annoying, is that even though rod was broken in the box (inside its soft foam cover, box was undamaged),upon return to Amazon, Amazon deducted $5 on refund for an item delivered unusable.Other than above, these rods are fine, but handle with care. Also, retrieve fish by pointing rod tip down at the water, not upright with a big bend, as many people usually do. Point down, use a strong reel to crank up your catch.

only got 1 trip on it with nothing over maybe 3 lbs landed, but it seems to be perfect for GOM fishing <100ft with lighter jigs. Feels solid but has plenty of flex/whip even with a 40g jig

So far all of my Handing purchases have not disappointed.Great value for the money and excellent customer service

Muy bella pero lamentablemente despues de esperarla tanto llega rota dentro de su estuche🤦🏻

Fun, lightweight combo for jigging seabass (80-100g) in deep water

Took this out fresh water fishing. I got the 6 foot ML action.I was intending on using this for northern pike and throwing crank baits and some live bait jigging.I matched it with my Shimano Vanguish spinning reel and it casts nice.The guides are affixed well, and don't see anything on this rod to think it won't last a few seasons.I am going to try this river fishing next and see how it holds up.Overall - 5 stars
