New light retractable travel rod

[fishfight]

These are newer technology material rod being produce these days from China. This particular rod are made from Carbon material, I plan to use them on Bass and trout, mostly fish under 15lbr. I seldom use line more than 20lb, and ensure drag is set properly. With today's strong braided line, many rod will break regardless of the brand if drag not set properly.

I fish with rod rated 12 lb max when I fish for salmon at times, then only with 12 lb mono. No line ever broke on me due to being cautious fighting with even 20lb+ salmon.

The other retractable rod I posted earlier on this section is way more heavy duty made for sure. 25 lb fish is defintely not an issue with that other rod. I just do not know if one cast and retrieve for lots of times with the heavier rod, we might get tired easily . how far the fish is in front of us will also determine how cautious we should be with our rod. We should avoid allowing any of our rod to flex too close to a U shape, unless they are noodle rods. Once the fish is close to shore and tired, if I do not have room to go back, I would at times hold my rod at mid length to ensure the rod does not curve too much. Most accident happens not from equipment failure but from mistake by the angler.
