I took mine out for the first time last night. Felt great, casts great. I got home and ordered a spinning version. I'll use these in the kayak, where I prefer shorter, short handle rods.

Good video to start the morning

Yes I have one also, the C602UL and for the price it's perfectly acceptable. Have caught a few Bass on it, no monsters, but it handled them all perfectly well. I concur with your assessment9.

That’s pretty impressive for under 40 bucks! Love how accessible decent gear is now for the newer bfs angler. The days are gone where you’re having to spend 100s to get something vaguely fishable! 👍🏻👊🏻

Glad you got onboard. I thought you only did reel reviews. I prefer 6"0" ul myself. They are top notch for money and surprisingly durable.

Enjoyed your video

Thanks for the review. I think I'll hold off buying this rod, just needs a couple more guides.

Giving this one another watch.

Finally sit down to check this out wasted no time catching fish!!

great video

I like this kind of review

I’m just getting into bfs so I bought both ends of the spectrum. Dobyns with a featherlight king fisher and a handing UL with a HC500 something or the other. I’ve can only finesse fish where I live so I’m extremely surprised I’m just learning about this new gear. Can’t wait.

nice video, I also have the same rod and I make videos at sea, I must say that it is very versatile as a rod

I bought it from Amazon and it's a very decent rod for the price. Love the clicker when you tightening reel down.😊

they freakin raised the price on these almost 30 dollars. they also did with another one of their rods i got on Amazon. unreal

Just bought this rod to pair with my Cormorant!!!

The handing wandering is also one worth checking out ive heard

i love the reel seat. reminds me of the old see thru daiwa steez ones.

Just got mine yesterday. Looking for a good reel. Was debating the hicc50

Great review, the rod does sound very promising but for me personally the line touching the rod blank makes this a pass for me. I would still recommend this rod as a first BFS rod for soneone considering its price but if someone already has other BFS rods then this one doesnt seem be shining enough to stand out from the others.

Handing is producing rods for Favorite, Shimano, Jackall and other reputable manufacturers for years. Just recently they decided to directly sell rods under their own brand.

personally i love a full cork handle and the clicking reel seat, have u tried the Ace Hawk CU Double rod

What reel were you using at the beginning? I just want to make sure I stay away from it considering all the backlash you got.

The MagicBlade series are a more moderate action and I like the reel seat they used on those a lot better. The Blade looks like it's cut away so you're touching the blank, but it's just a sleeve inside the reel seat. That's the case with most cutaway reel seat actually, otherwise a different reel seat would have to be made for every different blank in a series and that's just not feasible. They use a standard sized reel seat and then build up the blank underneath it with some kind of spacer with an outer diameter to match the inside of the seat and the inside reamed to match the blank. Something akin to a high strength graphite foam is pretty common. or the simple and cheap way is to wrap the blank in masking tape in several spots to build up to the diameter of the inside of the reel seat. The first method works better when it's a big gap to fill. Either way the whole thing is slathered in paste epoxy during assembly. The clicker on the hood is likely to keep the hood from loosening since there isn't a rubber lining in it to compress and load the thread like a lock washer. I mentioned the MagicBlade series. Seems to be a good blank. Much more moderate than the MagicL. It has the potential to be a good treble hook rod...except, it has even fewer guides than the MagicL, which as you mentioned, could use a few more. I wish I could find the exact guides that they use so I could add a couple more myself.

Any recommendations for a rod for distance casting 3g lures?

I was looking at these rods but they all seem to be moderate fast action and I would like a straight fast action bfs rod

Purchased 2 of these. Broke 8" off tip first fish at the boat, 1 lb sand trout. Second rod broke off 10" on first cast. They were both replaced for free, but I'm afraid to use them and ruin another fishing day.

Good ❤

nice vid pls unboxings too but What REELS would you Pair it with from aliexpress?

I bought this one too broke on the first bluegill I caught

Handing rods are notorious for their extra fast actions. Making it difficult to load up the rod with the weight of the lure. And IMO their butt section is too long on the split grip light power models.

Its almost $60 now on amazon for this magic L rod 😂

Cheapest bfs setup ever, $5 lews classic pro from yardsale, $36 8.7g bfs spool, and this $36 rod, almost less than for the whole setup than what a good budget bfs reel costs, now I know the lews won't be as good but I rarely cast anything less than 1/10 without some sort of added weight anyways

What would be your recommended bfs rod? Looking to get a new rod thinking about getting this till i upgrade later on or might just go ahead and get a nicer rod. Wanna get something that doesn't feel whippy but casts nice and far. I target all species with ul so i don't want anything that can't handle a beating. Any recommendations are appreciated. I also relate with yiur gripe about the ammount of guides on the rod.

36$..what a steal. looks like a higher end jdm rod XD

It has enough sensitivity for jig fishing?

Why information shown at Amazon and Aliexpress is different? At amazon says minimum lure weight goes to 1/32 ounce. And in Aliexpress says 1.5g. Pretty big difference. 1/32 ounce is 0.9 grams. Why is it needed to change numbers like that? Cheking the video to check the weight you used.

No. and I mean Nooo boat flipping or bank flipping

5 foot 6 inch rod won't get the distance for landbase casting my friend

It does seem like it doesn't cast that far

Nice dink bro...😂

There’s nothing more annoying than watching a video of watching someone count the turns on the reel . I like the videos and they have been very helpful, but I would rather hear an estimate on the distance that someone counting the turns on the reel.

I payed 51 euro Ali price went up, still need to arrived here
