DaiwaBEEFSTICK Boat Rod, Black, 7'

Love it. well built. I order wrong so had to return. was looking for long rod for northern frsh water fishing like Pan fish, bass and walleye. This one make for giant fish strong but heavy.

I got the eight foot length my go to size for boat casting to bass and bluefish in saltwater. I like glass rods do to the toughness and loading casting lures and jigs. I belive the tip half is fiberglass the butt half may be a composite of glass and graphite but im not 100% sure on that. Decent guides and wraps. Eva foam is good. Like the cork butt . I may contact cement the ferrel and make it a 1 peice. Soft tip might lend its self to livelining baits may give it a go trying that. Good quality for a low price . The test will be if it can land 10 .lb + bluefish and 20 .lb + Stripers. I will come back and give it 5 stars if it does.

8ft 2pc m rod...... The rod itself is a great budget surf rod. It has a good backbone to it but not overly stiff. I have been using it to fish for pompano and black drum.

the pole is great buts it's broken

It's a budget 8 foot rod. Good casting distance with vintage BG30 Diawa. Rod feels solid and could use a little more action. But all in all for a 2 piece rod at this price I am happy. I have used it from the beach and boat...multipurpose rod.
