Comments: I am a high school angler working for minimum wage, so I really like high value products, and I think this rod is perfect. I've been bass fishing about 10 years, but in the past 2-3 I've started to get a lot more serious about bass fishing. I picked up the 7'6" MH to travel with, and I didn't pay much attention when ordering, I thought it was a fast action. The rod is a moderate-fast, but that turned out to be great! I took the rod on a trip to my grandparents house in South Carolina, and I mainly used it to throw chatterbaits and jerkbaits. It's a little stiff for the jerkbait, but I like it so much as a chatterbait rod that I actually use it as my main rod for chatterbaits now. This rod feels better in build quality than my loomis e6x ($250 rod, now discontinued), and I think it feels just as sensitive. The biggest fish I landed on this rod so far is a 4lber, and the rod handled it with ease. To me, it doesn't feel any different than a one piece rod, and I have had no problems with it coming apart. Overall I think this is a great rod for anyone, traveling or otherwise, and an easy 5/5 stars.

Comments: Got the 6'8 mh which it looks like they don't sell anymore but anyways, super nice rod for the money, nice cork with a well designed handle and locking nut. I really enjoyed this rod decently sensitive and super light for the money. I have tatula elite rods, doybns and I can say that it's a super light rod, Pretty durable as well. I traveled with this rod to Hawaii and it has a nice tip to be a very universal medium-heavy. heavier topwaters. 1/2 jigs, light texas rigs, you won't be disappointed. Comes in a nice neoprene case that you can carry around with you too!

Comments: Great 2-piece rod. I got the 7'6" MH moderate and it works perfect for jigs, spinnerbaits, and chatterbaits. I got it to use as a rod that is always in my truck just in case, I find a free 30 minutes to fish. I would recommend this rod for sure.

Comments: Needed a travel rod to visit the grandkids. Very satisfied. Well made and balances well, lighter than I expected. I bought my oldest grandson and Abu Veritas and the Ark is much more sensitive. It's not on par with my poison Adrena or NRX but that's unfair comparison. Thumbs up on the Ark, thumbs down on the Veritas.

Comments: I bought the 7'6" MH rod. I'm not a bass fisherman, but I purchased it to do everything from bank fishing for hard fighting Chum salmon to squid fishing on the Sound. This rod is great!! It's light, sensitive, and strong. Finding a 2 piece casting rod is difficult within a acceptable price point. The rod feels responsive to slightest bites. I just wish the upper 3-4 guides were a bit larger since, being in my 60's, they are a super tiny diameter, and stringing line through them is challenging. But overall, you will not be disappointed with this rod. Hint: use a low profile casting reel for best results.

Comments: This is by far the best 2 piece rod I have used. It is not going to come apart on you while fishing. I bought the 7'6" MH to keep in the trunk of my work car so I can fish my lunch breaks. Fast tip, the sensitivity rivals mid-tier one piece rods. Reel seat, nut, and handle cork are high quality. This rod allows me to have a genuine bass fishing experience for 30 minutes in the middle of my work day, and I couldn't be more please. Came with a nice protective sleeve to store the rod it, though I
had to cut a slit down the side to not have to take the reel off the rod to put it in fully.
