Awesome rod
August 25, 2020
This rod is worth way more than what is it sold for. i paired this Lews Speed Spool. I primarily kayak fish, which limits me to the number of rods I take out with me. In the early mornings I use this rod to work topwater baits and then switch over to jerk/cranking baits later in the day. Mine is Medium/Moderate with a very nice tip that makes walking the dog a breeze. The deep parabolic bend allows me to apply plenty of pressure without pulling hooks.

East Coast LargeMouth
April 18, 2020
Despite its intention I use this rod for Largemouth bass over here in NJ. Paired with a Diawa Tatula it fishes top water like a dream, and is sensitive enough for senkos and real light baits. Caught my season opener which is also one of my largest on this rod. Any other rod would never be sensitive enough to fish a senko unless I went to a spinning setup. I would highly recommend it.
ProsSensitive
Stiff action
Love the color
Versitle
ConsWhen I find one I'll get back to ya

Nice build. Feels like a boutique custom rod that sell for $350 plus. Very light and it’s easy to tell that it’s a sensitive rod when you get in your hands. Extremely comfortable reel seat that is sure to accommodate any grip
ProsLight, sensitive
ConsI wish the reel seat was Fuji

The Perfect Rod Series for Inshore Fishing
June 16, 2019
The Shimano GLF series casting rods are an incredible value for the money. They come in the perfect lengths (6'-6', 6'-9", and 7'-0") and actions for pursuing inshore species such as spotted seatrout and redfish. I have purchased all four models and recently fished with the rods in the waters off of Steinhatchee, FL. The rods performed perfectly and were definitely fished more heavily than the other rods that I took on the trip. They have small diameter blanks made of 30 ton graphite, are lightweight, well-balanced, strong, and sensitive. I can give these rods my highest recommendation and endorsement for inshore fishing.

Incredible Inshore Rod for the Money
June 2, 2019
My first impressions of this rod wasn't the greatest as it's a super whippy/sensitive rod, it didn't seem to have a whole lot of backbone to fight the occasional hook up to a big red or bluefish inshore. I was totally wrong with that observation.
Very sensitive rod, and has a surprising amount of backbone in a fight. I was able to turn a sting ray with at least a 4 foot wingspan without much trouble at all, didn't once feel like it was struggling at all, really solid blank on this rod.
Seriously great rod for the price with a great feel in hand and super light. Worth every penny!

Lightweight, fast action, cast very good. Exactly what i wanted for being on the kayak. I have much more expensive rods, but each serves a particular role. This i wanted as a lighteweight kayak useable rod and it serves that role great. It is paired with a shimano reel and feels great in the hands.
Proslight
good action
comfortable

I purchased the 6' 9" Medium a few weeks ago and instantly fell in love. I love the color of this rod and the way it looks. The medium is the perfect for the light baits I throw. I have had no problems with my rod. Overall a great rod.

January 25, 2020
So I was told that some rods like castaway are spine aligned, so guides are put in the best location. Are these rods spine aligned?
1 Answer
Hello Miguel, after checking on these rods they are spined. The rods checked did not twist when pressure was applied.
