Very light rod at 130 grams, I was impress with the backbone of this rod. not too flexible at all . Actual size is 100inches long. Retracted to 17inches, looks short upon initial receipt of this rod, I was surprise how long it could extend. Quality not bad, once retracted very similar to many of my regular long rod, but this rod was even lighter than most of my 9ft trout rod. I have no time to test it on water yet, casting with 1 oz lures for niagara river fishing should work in most cases. The small issue with retractable rods, we have to ensure all guides are aligned properly, this one has 8 guides. Too bad , it does not come with a cover to prevent the top section guides from coming out.

I reviewed another slightly heavier retractable rod. This lighter version rod is more suitable for most of our local fishing condition, from fishing for trout, salmon and carp. The other heavier duty retractable rod for fighting bigger fish and coarse fishing.
