Impressive packaging! Rod is sturdy but also fast and a good length. The rod butt and upper hand grip are both a bit short (rod usca bit harder to hold strongly when big fish are on). It's ok, but I won't buy another.

I'm very impressed with the quality of this rod. The tip is flexible and the base is beefy. Nine line guides is three more than all my other catfish rods. It casts big baits with heavy sinkers with ease. It's my new favorite rod for trophy size catfish when paired with a KastKing Sharky Baitfeeder reel. Make the florescent green on the tip longer and it will be perfect.

I've surf fished all my life, but within the last few years I've developed a real passion for it. From Rhode Island stripers to Florida pompano to California surf perch I target whatever is in season wherever my travels take me. I have a collection of older 'yard sale' rods, and some are still quite stout and usable, but I wanted something with more more modern construction materials and with features that support braided line, etc. I was recommended a couple of rods, but they were in the $300 dollar range and beyond what I wanted to spend on a travel rod that gets used and abused in transit. I'm a value-seeking guy and I've purchased some of the Kast King reels before and been very happy with them, so I opted to try out the 10' Kong recently in the Florida surf. Wow! This rod casts wayyyy farther than any of my other rods because of it's light action, but it's HD construction allowed me to haul in a couple of 3 ft sharks without it flinching! Importantly, the reel seat is sturdy and when fighting a monster won't let your reel flex while cranking. It may not be the lightest-weight surf rod around (but not heavy by any means!) but for value this baby gets my 5 star rating all the way! Hint: Pair it with a 5000 Kast King Sharky Baitfeeder III and get ready for the most pleasurable surf fishing of your life!

We bought this rod to use for larger species lake and river species, like salmon, but my son has plans to use it for carp or catfish too. The length of the rod and the long handle section looks perfect for shore or surf fishing as well. The action is really nice for casting long distances with heavy lures or bait. The rod is by far the longest and most heavy duty rod we own, for its size however, it feels rather light in the hand. We put a 4000 series reel on it, but it seems small on this rod, and we can easily switch to a larger size and have the balance and extra line capacity we need for casting or reeling in. The grip has a nice feel to it, and the reel fits well in the reel seat. The colored rod tip does give better visibility when shore fishing, and the line guides all look really heavy duty. Now we just need to hook into some large fish with this rod and see how it holds up under pressure. The 10 ft rod we ordered is a 2-piece rod and came well packaged and arrived in perfect condition. Thanks!

My personal opinion is that this should be marketed as a premium catfishing rod.Pros:The s glass rod is strong but has sufficient flex to it.The guides are stout enough to handle large fish.The chartreuse tip practically glows making it easy to see with low light if a fish is biting.The attention to detail is quite impressive.I'm not a fan of rubber handles and grips, but for a catfish rod, I don't know if it gets better.The butt is rubber and is comfortable for fighting large fish.I personally like 2 piece rods as they are easy to transport.Cons:I'm not a fan of the rubber handles, so they will take time to get used to. I always go with cork, but for a catfish rod, I think it makes plenty of sense.Really, if you know that this is a stout rod that works well for bigger bottom feeders and you buy it with that intent, I think you will absolutely love the design of the rod. On a separate note, I'm out of Texas and there may be uses up north that I'm not thinking of, but for down south, I'll use it for catfish . Also, the packaging is superb. It was in plastic, in a very strong tube, in a box.
