KastKing Perigee II Spinning & Casting Fishing Rods, Fuji O-Ring Line Guides, 24 Ton Carbon Fiber Casting and Spinning Rods - Two Pieces,Twin-Tip Rods and One Piece Rods

Great action for the price and is great for pitching lures of all sizes within reason. Haven’t caught a monster with it yet but has yet to give me any issues no eyes on the rod have gone bad and the reel seat is still in great shape I’ll have to get another here soon.

I’m really impressed with the quality packaging! 5 different layers of protection for this rod. This product is extremely well made. Designed with the two tip system it allows the angler to easily convert to a different species with minimal effort. The 7’ rod system allows for repacking and transport to almost anywhere. Love the grip, hook holder and action with the two tips. I will put it to use first thing tomorrow morning.

Bought this fishing pole for my husband and he is obsessed. After a few weeks of use, he’s told me multiple times now, that out of all his poles, this is his favorite. He loves the length, weight, and has never cast so far, in comparison to similar poles. We’ll be sticking with this brand from here on out. Fantastic product!

I own two of these rods, the 5’6” LF and the 6’6” HF. Both are two-piece rods. I’ve caught one of my biggest bass (20”, 4lbs) on the LF and it held up well, even on the hard hook set. I mostly use this rod to throw very light lures, and it has enough flex to excel in the cast. I also used to use it to troll crank baits through the river in my kayak. I’ve hit sudden snags, muscled in catfish against the current on light line, and bent hooks out of snags and it’s held up fine, although it didn’t inspire confidence.Which is why I picked up the Heavy-fast model, which is used almost exclusively for trolling, though I might start using it to throw spinners for pile (#3s are a tough cast on a baitcaster). I’ve had it on the water once so far, still no fish, but it’s only a matter of time. This is my first heavy rod that wasn’t some bass pro catfish combo, and my initial impressions are that it’s extremely lightweight and feels nice in the hand. I have some MH baitcast rods that are twice the price but feel less nimble. I’m hyped to see how it feels when I pull in the first catch.My one complaint is the hook keeper. Holy smokes is it bad. It’s a clip instead of a loop and on the top of the rod. Somehow if I work a bait with slack line, the recoil likes getting stuck in the keeper, and I have to pull it out when I should be trying to feel the bait. This sucks since I use this rod for finesse fishing, and every time I have to take my hand off the line is a time I could miss a bite. On the heavy rod, I hooked my bait onto the keeper to set it down, and as I tightened the slack, the keeper bent up with barely any pressure. I’ve never seen this before - maybe I got a defective rod because I’ve tightened the other rod way more and the keeper hasn’t bent. I’m thinking about grinding the keepers off and just getting an aftermarket one.Anyway, these are awesome rods for the price point. I don’t think you can find something better under $50. But just keep in mind that the hook keeper might leave you frustrated.

I just love these rods they are made just as good as the very expensive rods. Iight,sensitive and backbone. I'm a fisherman on a budget and fish don't care where you got your gear.

I ordered this rod for my daughter. A 5'6" Light action 2 piece. Second time using it and the rod bent in half while fighting a small nothern pike last night. It didn't even break, it just bent right in half on the top section of the 2 piece rod. Pretty disappointing. The rod has been handled well, barely used. Stored in a rod locker in a rod sleeve so I feel strongly this is a manufacturer defect. It bent right where a guide was attached.

I love this pole!! Very light and great action. I paired it with the KastKing Megatron 3000 spinning reel. Sweet combo. I have caught doormat flounder with this combo ...no problem!, Reds, snapper, speckled trout....try it guys and girls, you'll like it!

I have a few KastKing products and this might be my favorite one. This rod is great. I fish either from the bank or in a canoe, and I throw mossssstly soft plastics. I fish in NH mostly for largemouth but I’ll hook a pickerel or smallie here and there.I love this rod because it’s got a nice fast action, I love fast action, and it’s got great backbone. I’m usually throwing a weightless, Texas rigged trick worm, or soft plastic jerkbait directly into lilies. I also love a 1/4oz jig head with a 2” gulp minnow on it for twitching off the bottom. Since I’m on the bank or in a canoe I’m not very vertical…meaning if I hook a fish far out I usually have a lot of lilies to get through before I land it. This rod has plenty of backbone for me to do just that. I’m typically using 15 pound braid with a 8 or 6 pound flouro leader tied in with a uni/uni knot. I rarely break off, and it’s only if I snag a log or something immovable. The rod is about as lightweight as you’d expect from a carbon fiber rod, and it has great balance with my 2000 size shimano on it. I’ve casted up to maybe 4 oz in it before with no issue but I probably wouldn’t recommend going too far over the listed weight too often. The only reason I say this is because of the fast tip, it doesn’t load up so much as something more moderate. Overall I’ve loved all my Kastking products and will continue buying them. The unfortunate end to this review is I have contractors in my building and came home to this rod in 4 pieces the other day. I remembered to write this review because I’ll likely purchase the same exact rod.I went 5/5 on value and lightweight but only 4 on craftsmanship because nothing particularly STOOD OUT. It’s just a great rod.
