KastKingCompass Telescopic Fishing Rods,Casting Rod, 7ft - Medium Heavy - Fast

I live in the south and i mostly fish ponds, creeks, lakes but it held up up so far I love how small and compact it is that i can leave it in my truck and do a little fishing anytime i feel like it. The only down side to the rod is getting the eyes all straight seeing as there is no marking segments to make it easier on the owner but i make do by getting them as straight as i can and looking down the rod eyes and aliened then pull them one at a time to get a snug fit then start fishing.

I keep my reviews to products I absolutely recommend, or for when I feel a buyer needs to be aware of something, and unfortunately it's the latter in this case.The guides on this pole are uneven, and are laughable thin, which unfortunately means that attempting to level them out puts you at risk of them breaking. It's not hard to see that even with light use, that the guides will not be the part of this rod that stands the test of time.The same goes with the fiberglass tip. I've seen a fair share of telescopic poles, and this is the first time I've seen a warped fiberglass tip. While it seems to be responsive and does a good job of delivering a good cast, the quality control and state of it new gives a less than reassuring feeling on how long it'll last.The rod construction itself is incredibly solid and feels like it could take a hell of a beating. This makes the condition of the guides and tip so much more of a mystery to why they're so sub par. I've got an Ozark trail telescoping spinner that at $20 has amazingly solid guides and tip. I feel that there is no excuse on why the guides are so badly produced, to the point they are ready to snap at a moments notice. Sure, they can't be bound on both sides, or in multiple points on the face side, but the binding isn't the issue, it's what is bound to the rod that's the issue.I'd love to see the xomp

I have never purchased a telescoping rod before but this rod seems pretty good. It’s extremely lightweight and it packs up nicely. Be careful pushing the smaller rod pieces inside of the larger rod pieces so as to not break them. My only complaint is the small tip case doesn’t fit very snugly over the eyelets at the end of the rod while it is packed. Nonetheless, this rod will be a good choice for small pond hopping missions and remote locations.

Has a good feel to it. Got it to put in my go bag to keep in the car all the time.

I bought this for my trip to Florida and i paired it with the Kastking Royale Legend II (5.4:1). It’s a pretty cheap combo but perfect for traveling as it fit in my large suitcase.The rod is pretty lightweight and the i would say the feel and acton are a medium. You will have a good time fighting and reeling in any fish over 1 lb. I certainly did not buy this rod for its backbone. Portability was my #1 concern and this rod excelled at that.My only complaint is when you’re extending the rod, the pieces tend to spin around causing your line to wrap around the rod. You just need to be careful and slowly pull out each section
