Comments: Very happy with this rod. It skips like a dream and handles the fish well. Amazing quality at the $100 price point. I will be adding more to my line up.

Comments: These are the best spinning rods for the money!! They are super sensitive, lightweight, and balanced! I love the extra fast tip on the Hartwell magic it's the perfect all-around rod for finesse fishing (shaky head, wacky rig, ned rig, all the stuff that I like to fish with)! I bought one a few months ago, and I am back here to buy another just like it!

Comments: I bought two of them, one for my self and one for my brother. I was running line through my rod and it just snapped. I don't know if this happened at the factory or during shipping. I'm still waiting to be able to fish with it, I need to go through the warranty prosses. I'm sure it will be quick knowing how tackle Wearhouse handles everything.

Comments: I bought the 6'10" Medium for throwing light ned rigs on creeks. Rod casts nice and fishes well. Pretty sensitive and more than enough backbone to play a 2.5lbs Allegheny River smallmouth. I did notice that, like a lot of other Ark rod reviewers have stated, the line guides are offset around the rod from the reel seat. The guides are all in a straight line, it's just that that line does not continue down the reel seat, it goes slightly to one side of it. This does not seem to effect performance, but is just sloppy production standards. But there again it is a sub $100 rod.

Comments: Cobb series rods are truly excellent...great sensitivity and feel with a high level of build quality and finish. I have rods that cost 4x what these do but do not compare to these Ark Cobb series rods

Comments: I got a 6'10' M and a 7'3" ML on sale. Both rods are light, sensitive and well balanced. Very nice rods for the price.

Comments: This is a good length, weight , and action spinning rod but the action is much lighter than what I thought it would be. It would be a good rod for 5, 6, or 7 pound line. The add states that the wording may be different, yes it was. The picture showed "Hartwell Special" which is what I wanted but the changed wording was "Fairy Wand".
From: Mon Mariner: Pennsylvania 6/1/21
Comments: I absolutely love this rod. It has a good tip which makes it easy to skip a senko, but has enough back bone to get the fish out of those tight areas.
From: Jared: Walterboro, SC 4/12/21
Comments: I really like Brandon Cobb's Fishing style and methods as they are very similar to mine so I got one. Was out of stock for a while but its back. It is Great! still seems longer than I would have liked but try finding an affordable 6' rod these days. I am sorta short so a long rod kinda gets in the way for jerk baits (for me). The micro guides are something to get used to as well coming from an old "basketball hoop" level guides.
