I loved the reel. but your rod, I can't believe how weak it was, it broke on the first catch of a very small catfish. So I finished the day fishing with my kids 20 dollar fishing rod. I don't recommend this product not worth the $100. Compared to my kids 20 dollar rod. the reel is great but I guess I'll have to look for a different brand of rod for it. DON'T BUY IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
