I'm not the kind of person that likes to buy a rod with out first having it in my hands. Well they don't sell carp rods any where close to where I live and I happened to see these rods being used in few utube videos and we'll had to take a chance. 😁 Yes, I'm glad I did, they are of excellent quality. I'm ready this weekend to hit the st. Joseph River here in Indiana where there's 30 + Pounders that I can't wait to hook up. Now I can retire my salmon rods. Next I want to see what Diawa Maddragon might have in comparison with baitcasting rods for carp fishing. But again for the price and quality I'm glad I choose these rods. Perfect eyelets, reel seat, balance. Now the only thing left is seeing what the feel of a big 30+ pounder feels like on the other end.😁👍
This is my second Diawa Maddragon rod, I️ have no issue launching 5oz 100yds. Great quality, work great as a starter rod and will keep up with the expensive rods too. Can’t beat these rods.
These are my first 12 foot carp rods and I am very impressed with the quality and design of the rods. I was able to get them at a sales price that was a little better than regular but even at the regular price, they are an excellent choice. Many other rods are twice the price. I am already thinking about adding a third rod and reel to my carp fishing inventory and I am sure this is the rod I will be ordering.
One of these fishing rods snapped. Will be returning product this week, my son likes his, I purchased 2 of them, he doesn’t cast like I do, he casts lightly. Not good for what they are designed, maybe mine was defective.
