Goture Fishing Rods Spinning Travel Fishing Pole Pack case Portable 4 Sections ulLight Weight Carbon Fiber Poles M Power Medium Action 7ft Dark Green

I own more rods than a person needs, but I don’t own a lot of compact travel rods with tubes. So when I began looking for rods that would take up minimal room in my RV when traveling, this one in dark green jumped out at me. Upon delivery I was pleasantly surprised. The tube is sturdy. The four blank sections are attractive and nicely finished. When assembled it is very light and balances well. The reel seat seems plenty strong. And it matches up nicely with my modern Mitchell 300, 300Xe, and Truscend Blackhawk spinning reels, as I thought it would. The action is listed as moderate (medium), which seems accurate. It is important to note this rod uses spigot ferrule connections. Not everybody is familiar with these. Research this connection if need be. Bottom line is that the sections should be snug, not jammed together flush. If jammed together the sections can become permanently stuck or damaged. If too loose the rod can break at that point. Connections should be checked periodically. In closing, this is one heckuva rod and I’m extremely satisfied. I will be getting another.

Bought for a Belize fishing trip and it broke on a small fish. Not even where you connect it but the actual rod. I had 10 pound test line, how does the medium rating (8-17lb line) rod break before relatively light line?
