I’d buy another again no if and or butts. I got the 7 ft and it’s now my favourite and cheapest Rod of my fleet. I’ve landed 10+ pound lake trout with it as well as spring steelhead on the north shore. Pack on lots of 6 pound test on your reel and enjoy the fight!

Excellent product ! ! !

The connection between the 2 pieces of rod is loose. After about 50 casts the top half fell off while casting, now i constantly check the connection and alignment before each cast. I'll probably have to glue it together.

I've been searching for the perfect matchup to the Kastking Zephyr BFS reel that I purchased on Amazon a couple weeks ago.I think this is the 4th or 5th Sougayilang rod that I have purchased off of Amazon.None of them have been the proverbial *glass slipper* until I cast a 2.9 g test weight earlier this evening on 4 lb Berkley trilene XL somewhere between 90 and 100 ft! that's 30 plus yards with a 1/10th of an ounce weight!This rod is officially designated as 'Ultralight' from 1/8 oz up to 3/4 of an ounce by Sougayilang.This rod has a flex profile that seems to do well with lighter than the advertised weight printed on the rod. This model has a more overall flexing property instead of just flexing at the tip.(which in my personal opinion makes a rod unruly unpredictable and inaccurate when casting light bait/lures)The long casting distance may have something to do with the reel guides looking and feeling like obsidian glass, they are ceramic inserts and they seem to do well with the 4 lb monofilament that I was casting with.After getting used to the way the rod loads up and managed further and further casts I then basically shot the whole spool (because the Zephyr reel likes as little line as possible on the spool) I think I had about 110 ft on the spool and I ran it down to the tape! I am very pleased with the way this rod behaves with that particular reel.Almost all the other rods made casting with the Kastking Zephyr BFS reel a real challenge and quite honestly-a pain in the butt... with countless bird nests, some of them so severe I had to burn 10 to 20 yards of line off the reel.(was even worse with the 6 lb mono Trilene XL) the extra weight of heavier line created too much inertia which overpowered the braking system on that reel.I'm fairly new to baitcasting, I have a solid year under my belt casting with the Abu Garcia Black Max which is what I use to throw heavy baits with, the B.Max rod is too stiff for BFS, so I had to invest in a new reel, and a rod that would help the reel cast to its full potential casting ultralight baits like the trout magnet, which weighs a whopping 1.7 g with the jig head attached to the plastic bait...I am Looking forward to putting in a full weekend with this setup on a river/creek north of the town I live in, where there are multi-species to be had this time of year, from trout to Bass it's all in there, and I hope to pull a few out take some pictures and then let them go.The rod that I'm writing about is the PAE602UL model 6 ft ultra light CASTING rod with full cork handle, ceramic line guides, low profile reel seat and bait holder.She is a beautiful piece of work, a Cinderella in the making, well done Sougayilang!

I normally fish small creeks and ponds, using local bait (such as grasshoppers, grubs, ants, dragonflies), or lightweight lures. I use no weight or sometimes a small split shot. I like a lightweight pole with a lot of "whip" action to cast with.I imagine I might have to play the 20-inch trout I sometimes come across, but that will make even more fun.My regular pole (for 70 years) is getting a bit worn, and the eyes are getting corroded. I have been looking for just such a pole as this. I expect to hang my veteran pole on the wall now, and rely on this superb rod.It's not for heavy casting or trolling, but is ideal for my use.
