The best BFS travel fishing rod! I primarily use it to cast lures between 1.5 and 5 grams, and it also performs very well when casting 7-gram metal jigs thanks to its strong backbone. The rod's tip quickly returns to its original position after casting. I plan to purchase another TKBLU PRO rod from the real wood series, this time opting for a custom dark wood design.
its moderate action glass enable a much easier time keeping a fish on the hook, especially in stream fast current and even more so with barbless hooks(I prefer single barbless hook, Barbless hooks minimize harm to the fish while still maintaining a strong hold). The rod sways and bends, yet it's robust enough to ensure the quarry remains on the hook.. I really enjoy it
Many thanks to Dankung for their prompt response and swift shipping. I've received an absolutely delightful reel, the 'Tender Shoot'. To my knowledge, I may be the first person in Australia to have the pleasure of using this particular model. In terms of performance, it's been exceeding my expectations. On average, I'm able to cast lures that weigh less than 2g a considerable distance of 25 to 30 meters.
a good balance between power and accuracy! The band is made from high-quality materials that provide durability and resistance to wear and tear.
I used it from 2019!
The ergonomics are fantastic. Definitely in my top three, probs second only to the X-6 shining in terms of accuracy, although I prefer A Happy Live Fox fork design, if the would make a mashup of the two I believe perfection would be achieved!
The size, shape, and ergonomics are amazing. I feared that they were overstated and I would be let down. I like the lack of grooves, I find the tubes settle quicker and more consistently than with my models with grooves. By far the top of my favorite 3 models, after this it’s a tie between the Happy live Fox and Orangutan! But the X6 is bob more accurate and as comfortable without being wrapped as the others are while wrapped. additionally the rise at the center of the fork is a surprisingly effective reference point for aiming!
As an old glass rod user, I can attest to the fact that these rods have enough backbone to handle some seriously good-sized fish. When I'm out on the water targeting trout in the US, I know that my glass rod is up to the task of reeling in fish in the 12 to 20 inch range. There's something truly satisfying about feeling the bend in the rod as I hook into a big fish and start to bring it in. Don't get me wrong, this rod also perform very well in fishing small fishes.
Of course, having enough backbone is just one part of the equation. This rod is well balanced with other important properties, such as sensitivity and responsiveness.
I think I have got a glass rod that strikes the perfect balance for my needs and ensures that I have an enjoyable and successful time out on the water of stream.
This is Hands Down the best spinning rod I own. I have some JDM carbon rods, costing up to around $400. Yes, they are very different animals than this, with their very light weight and their amazing sensitivity. But they are Not as fun as this rod. The taper is ideal. I have two other excellent UL glass (one JDM and one custom rod from the US) but both are stiffer in the tip than this rod, so less fun to cast super-light baits. With high-end 5-lb JDM braid, the tiny tungsten jigs that I tie cast beautifully. Because of this rod's light tip, it's just easier to cast hyperlight baits with this rod than with the stiff-tipped carbon rods, even my UL ones. The rod as a casting tool is So forgiving.
Where this rod really shines is in fish-fighting. With this rod, I landed a carp of approximately 10 pounds in Kentucky a couple of years ago that I foul hooked In The Tail, using 3-lb JDM braid = not much fun for the angler or the fish. The rod handled it amazingly well. As with virtually any glass rod, you don't have to worry about breaking it, even on very heavy fish. No, I don't recommend this rod for anything but smaller fish, but it Will handle a monster if you are patient.
I'm a professional fly-casting instructor, and am simply not swayed by what my rods look like, but this rod is very nice to look at. The un-tinted glass kind of glows.
I confess to initially being skeptical that the CDM could design a truly great rod. Boy, was I wrong about that! This rod is a remarkable achievement. If DanKung starts making comparable rods that are stouter in power, sign me up. (And, no, I have no relationship with DanKung.)
I am impressed by Pixiu Slingshot's comfort grip. The designers have clearly prioritized ergonomics, as the slingshot fits perfectly in the hand, providing a secure and comfortable grip. This is crucial for maintaining accuracy and control during use. What's more, I love the cool appearance of Dark color
Weather is not so nice here in New Jersey, it's cold in these days.
I have found 0.8 sheshou is faster with an easier draw than the 3rd gen .8 Precise and Sumeike.
It is interesting and exciting shooting result, sheshou cut 19x10 sends 9mm steel balls go straight threw coke cans at 27 meters, on a flat trajectory.
I use light pouches and tie the pouches with small solid band, Sheshou will be the band I use for all shooting in 2023!
I received it after 12 days of payment. The Premium 1745 band has more of a light yellowish tone than the darker yellow color regular 1745 tubing.
I ran the 10 metres of Amber Premium tubing through my fingers and didn't find any bulges, rough spots, or damaging disfigurations.
it seems very good qulity and very consistent.
The velocity is obvious faster than other regular 1745 band (I have 210 fps to 215fps with the regular 1745 with 3/8" steel),
the same setup made with this premium1745 has average 245fps ,the 30fps velocity gain is so sweet!
Aside from the slight visual imperfections I do very much appreciate the rod. I think it is perfect for accurate shorter range casts with around 2-4g lures. With 5g lure it seems the rod lacks stiffness to control the lure. The rod is very sensitive in my opinion for a fiberglass rod and might even be more sensitive than some of my carbon rods. I was able to catch some very small largemouth bass on it the other day.
The Ming Yang with carved pattern is a beautiful piece of kit I absolutely love it and casting that reel is so easy is almost like is not there yet it perform like a champ
I have bought some other brands of glas fishing rods in the past but and a big one at that is the glasfin rod, gentleman's this is a serious rod at an affordable price, it feels like a carbon rod but is so good for flick casting that is like an extension of your hand i absolutely love it
It's a very good lure. I switch between fast retrieve (wide tail movements) and slow twitch (similar to walk the dog movement). It works with bass, and I think it will work with trouts too. Nevertheless the overall structure doesn't seem so solid
Fast shipping and excellent peformance of AIR reel. thanks a lot

I shoot 8mm steel balls, Premium 1842 just has incredible force and velocity and band life!
Great and consistent quality and excellent for my small ball shooting. I have been used it for 3 years!

Great for my 9mm balls, I also shoot other size balls occasionally (range from 6mm to 11 mm)
This is abolutely a versatile and dependable band.

Great Little Slingshot. Feels pretty good in hands. Heavy and thats fine for accuracy. Many thanks.
