Great rods, and a lot of fun!
I love this series of rods. I started with the 4′ 6″ ultralight rod, and bought the 7′ light to try it out. The sensitivity is great, and punches way above its weight for its price point. I bought both of these for panfish, and have handled 3# bass with no issue. It looks cheap because it is, but it’s ability to reliably catch fish keep is it in rotation when I’m targeting smaller species, or if I want a small bass to feel huge!

E cellent little rod for the money
I have an obscene amount of fishing gear, as I have gotten older, I have culled out a lot of that gear and passed it on to family & some kids near bye that can’t afford much. I was left with expensive rods and found myself wanting a few rods I can throw in the truck or car and not be too concerned about..not have to babysit like I do with rod/reel combos that I paid north of $200.00 for.This little rod is just what I wanted. It is super nice for the money, has a nice grip and all the wraps are very nice with only one have a little blew (has zero effect on perfect) the guides are great , and although not Fuji ceramic guides, they are very good for the price.I paired the rod with a ultralight spinning reel I also bought on Amazon. Choose an ultralight spinning reel that has 4.5 to 5 star reviews that has a price you are comfortable with. For about $45.00 you can have a great kitten ultralight spinning setup with line. I have caught many trout on this setup as well as other panfish..big slab Crappie on this rod are a lot of fun.A sweet little rod for a really nice price. âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸

Fragile Broke After a Few Use
I use to have an old Shakespeare microspin ultra light that broke so I replaced it with this MCRSP702UL ultralight one. Supposedly they are both ultralight but this one is very thin. The tip rod diameter is almost less than 1/8â in diameter thickness. I had a 6lb line with a 1/4â oz sinker at the end which was within the limit of the rod. The tip broke off leaving me with about 6â6â of rod length. A little disappointed but I continued to use it. The next outing, when I casted my weight and jig, the whole body snapped.It was outside my 30day window with amazon so I had to contact Shakespeare for a warranty claim. They didnât have the ultralight but they will be sending me out a Light version at the cost of $9.95 S/H fee.Iâm a little disappointed at how fragile this rod was. I hope the light version is more durable but I wasnât impressed. $30 dollars down the drain, I figure I couldnât have gotten a new Ozark Trail set that would have had more life.Will not buy another one again.

Love it, but…
I got the 7′ light version. The older models of this line of rods had an additional line guide (7 instead of the current version’s 6) and that’s a bit of a disappointment – the 7 guides seem to give a more even pressure spread than the 6. This rod, while listed as “light” works for ultra-light applications and has both a parabolic curve to the action and enough stiffness to work for “twitching” applications as well as simple retrieve and float fishing, making it a very good, inexpensive multi-purpose rod.Inexpensive rods usually suffer in the “feel”. They frequently lack sensitivity, taking away the fun of the fight. Not so with this one – it’s a lot of fun to use.

Quality rod
I got the 7′ rod, paired it with a Picifun carbon x 2, 8 lbs 8 strand braid with 6 lbs flora liter. I backpack river banks for catfish with 2 telescopic rods on my pack and the micro in my hand. I used the rod for a few months before I wrote the review. It takes the abuse of the occasional snag on low branches and bumps into trees as well as being tossed into the back of my Jeep. This rod is light weight, very durable, extremely sensitive to bites, and astectitc. I’ve caught many pan fish that I use as bait for the catfish, and during the wait for the cats I fish the area with the micro. I’ve caught large bass up to 17 inch, crappie and even a few small blue cats (4-7lbs). I am the type who likes quality gear and this rod will not disappoint. I read many reviews on rods and I would say that it seems no matter how expensive the rod you always get reviews that say the rod snapped on the first use. For myself this rod has been top quality. My only criticism is that the top guide is on the small side, even with a proper FG you’ll lose some distance on your cast. Casting straight braid you’ll get the “country mile”. Hope this review helps. Good fishing.

Easily my favorite light rod for twitching
I bought this due to some reviews on YouTube in particular. They suggested it as a fantastic twitching rod and I have to say that I was so happy with this purchase. It is by far my favorite rod for twitching small K tails, as well as jerk baits when fishing for largemouth. The rod has plenty or backbone & stiffness when you are fighting a fish, but great action on the tip for setting hooks and getting the lure you are using to get the desired action.It is comfortable to hold and use for longer days and pairs really well with a Daiwa Revros 1000. The actual price is just a huge bonus given the the ability of this rod when using lures. The 2 piece design also makes it more functional for transportation when needed. I would recommend the 7′ light power rod as the action on it is ideal and not noodle like

Micro Pole More than Worth the Money
Bought this to replace a micro rod that snapped on the shaft. It is very light and easy to use. The single piece design allows me to cast exactly where I want with no issues and feel everything that bumps my lure. The shorter length is great when on a boat or in tight quarters.

Amazon needs to learn how to ship fishing rods.
This is a great budget rod. It’s sensitive, and extremely light. I even pulled in a 4.5 lb bass on it when he ate the bluegill I was reeling in! I wanted a second one and couldn’t find it locally, so I have Amazon a shot.That said, this review is more about Amazon’s shipping methods that leave a lot to be desired. The rod was loose in a box with a few sheets of paper stuffed in there. By the time I got it, three of the guides were so bent that the epoxy guide wraps had cracked.Just know if you order it here, it’s going to be a gamble as to whether it shows up intact. If you can get it locally, I would do that instead.
