Bought this rod as a birthday present for my girlfriend mainly because it’s her favorite color and she absolutely loves it! Very light but strong enough so bring in 20lbs+. Paired with a Shimano Spirex 1000FG and it’s one of the nicest combos in my collection and I even find myself grabbing hers over most of mine.

I purchased this rod for my wife to use in Florida, and now I find myself grabbing it over my other rods when I head out. I got the 7ft Medium. It is super light, pretty sensitive, sensitive enough that I used it to fish a small river for rainbow trout, and it seems to have good back bone. I haven't pulled any large fish with it, but I think by feel it would be good into the 20+ pound range, perhaps even higher. It has a good action, very flexible rod. I really enjoy fishing with it.

I paired it with a piscifun carbon X 3000 reel and it is a very light and pleasing combo. I don't expect the reel to stand up to salt long term, so I may pair it with some other reel soon, but it's a great combo.

For $89 I think this is one of the better deals around. It's nice to see Shimano putting some technology and quality into the lower priced offerings in their line-up.

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.

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.

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

This is the second GLF rod I have bought. Their great and extremely light but strong enough to put some real pressure on the fish.

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.

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!

Light action, good senstivity. Big fan

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.

I purchased the 6'6' spinning rod and paired it with an Ultegra 2500. This thing is like an extention of my arm... super light and fun to fish with!

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.
