This rod is an underrated rod in my book,performs on a high level fiberglass rod and doesn't cost what some of the popular bfs fiberglass rods do,such as Dan Kung's GLASSFIN which is 120+ dollars. the tip part is fiberglass and the handle part is graphite. Excellent flick casting capability. I yesterday landed a tiger trout at a narrow spot with this hybrid rod.
althought it indicates '1-5g'. It casts very well with my 0.7-5 gram lures and spoons catching rivulet trout in areas with a lot of stones. I use 3-5lb braid. The most fish I catch are brown trout so IЎЇm thinking this GLASSFIN glass rod is just best for fighting these fishes average weight 2 to 4 lb. Shipping to Australia took 12 days. Thank Dankung for invention.
I bought this for my creek fishing at the creeks in NC. It worked fine. the quality is very good. Overall speaking, it's similar to my Anglo rod(http://www.anglo.jp/) that I got it at 110,000 Japanese Yen(about 870 US dollars). So this rod is a budget edition of Anglo rod with a little bit softer power than Anglo. Here are pictures of my Anglo and GLASSFIN rod.
