I bought this rod for travel. I know telescopic rods are not as good, but this rod broke at the fourth guide on a small strike from a small fish. I am on holidays and will not be able to return this very poor product.I have used other telescopic rods, they have broken but from big fish. This rod is garbage.

All good

After my first examining of the rod when it arrived one of the guides (second from the reel) came off as i retracted the rod; all the sections collapsed into each other fine but thats where the problem occured...as the third section collapsed into the second the ring guide from the second came off its glue. Now its just hanging loose. Not quality epoxy glue or not enough?Had high hopes for this brand. A little bit disappointed. But I used the rod today works fine but its gonna cost me extra now i have to glue the ring back into place.

أنا لم اجربها ولكنها لا تتحمل أكثر من 20 غرام وزنعاملها بحذر

I haven't read all 287 reviews but if I'm repeating someone, I apologize. About 5-years ago, I started my search for a collapsible, travel rod that was very close in quality/function to a 2-piece or 1-piece boat rod. Most travel rods at the time we like toys you would buy for your 7-year old. About 2-years ago I searched Amazon and settled on the Kastking. Now I noticed that my Kastking looks identical to the Sougayilang so I don't know if they're the same company or one makes the rod for another? These rods work so well, I'm now in the market for a spare. However, the Kastking is currently, out-of-stock. Enter the Sougayilang. By all accounts, the Kastking & Sougayilang appear to be the same rods - and now my review:I've been an avid fisherman, spear fisherman and bottom fisherman in Hawaii for over 40-years. I own a boat and have used just about every expensive/inexpensive brand rod out there. But when I'm not fishing from my boat, I just love to throw a rod and reel in my truck, drive to the West shore and "whip" for papio or juvenile trevali. Prior to the Kastking, my FAV papio pole was an 8' Shimano, one-piece so I made a holder on the roof of my truck out of ABS plastic pipe. No problems here except having to mount & remove it. Then about 2-years ago I started using my 9.84' Kastking for the same purpose and I can tell you, while not an equal to my $125 Shimano, it comes really close at about $90 cheaper! After 2 years of hard weekend use, here are my observations:PROS:- Collapsible, collapsible, collapsible.....Nice!!! Super-convenient & easy to transport. I put mine in your typical laundry basket along with my other fishing gear, towels and throw it in the bed or cab of my truck. You can throw it in you duffle too! I store it collapsed in my house until the next outing. Gone are the days of banged rod tips as you move the pole through your house for storage!- Heavy Duty. This is not a toy but a well-made, solid, functional fishing rod intended for the purpose of "serious" fishing.- Reel seats do not come loose and feel just as solid as your typical $150 Shimano boat rod. In fact, the overall feel of the rod is solid.- Reel Frame is also solid/robust and made of metal/aluminum.- Sections are made of carbon fiber.- Foam grip on the bottom of the handle is just as good as any expensive boat rod out there.- Powder-coated aluminum, threaded cap at the bottom can be removed for internal rinsing or section removal/replacement.- Guides are CeramicCONS:- Guide Frames seem a little bulky and about mid-range quality. CAUTION: DO NOT twist the smaller guides to release/collapse a section. If you expanded a section too tightly, twisting the guide to collapse it will break the guide free from the extension. I speak from experience. However, if you make the same mistake as I, a little superglue fixes the issue promptly.- Expanding each section before prior to fishing requires time to get each guide into straight alignment. I haven't tried it but hear some folks make small alignment marks w/ a permanent marker?- Expanding each section too tightly will almost "lock" the section in place and your chance of breaking the section (especially the top 2 sections) is great as you try to collapse them. CAUTION: Ensure you expand each section just "snuggly", NOT "tightly". I found that even if the sections twist from the torque of a cast, it is very easy to reach up and get it back in alignment. AVOID tightly "locking" a section into its fully extended position! "Snug" is the key!CONCLUSION: It is very hard to believe you can get this type of fit and function for under $50 bucks! I believe somebody like Bass Pro would easily sell this rod for over $100 (because it feels like a $100 rod). Add in the convenience of collapsibility and you have a winner of a fishing rod. The rod has performed so well over the past 2-years with only a broken tip (my fault) and a loosened guide (again, my fault), that I am purchasing 2 more for spares. Bottom line is you get INCREDIBLE FUNCTION & QUALITY FOR $40!
