Comments: Major Craft Bekei offers some of the best value for the money that I've ever experienced. I own rods that are more expensive than this one, but this one out-preforms some, if not most, of my middle range priced rods. Normally, when people say that, they don't have nearly enough experience with more expensive models to make that claim. I, however, work in a tackle shop and have handled and fished a lot of rods. This is a rod where I feel like I can make that claim truthfully. Obviously, you won't get a high end rod for this amount of money, that's not what I'm saying, but you will get a rod that feels like a $200 rod. Reel seat feels great, the sensitivity is really good (better than my $200 Dragon Fishmaker rod for an example), I really like the guides and the power and action are both very accurate compared to the description. I really recommend the Major Craft Benkei. It's my favorite rod by far in this price range.

Comments: Just unveiled it and it is a beaut! Very stylish and detailed. Got it to do BFS-style fishing and this rod looks game to do that. Feel and balance match quite well with the baitcaster I bought for it and it ought to be fun to fish with. This is the third rod I have purchased from TW, in this line (MajorCraft.) So far, I'm extremely pleased with everything and TW is a choice dealer to do business with. Never a single glitch or bump in the road in doing business with them and they always give good product advice.
