Strengths: A good all-round rod when you only want to carry one in the boot of the car. Strong enough to fish most lures, even the big ones.
Weaknesses: Obviously not ideal for the smaller lures but that's what compromise is all about. The finish isn't brilliant but at £50 what do you expect?
Overall: Does the job I bought it for and fits in the boot of my car out of sight of theives.
