I had a simple goal. Find a portable rod that I can take backpacking or on my motorcycle to fish with. I looked at brands like Sougayilang, Plussino and KaskKing. They all had raving reviews but KaskKing seemed to have highly consistent ones for just a little bit more money. I figured maybe you pay for what you get makes sense in this scenario so I pull the trigger. I’m glad I made the purchase the rods materials and finish feels top notch. Let’s see how it fishes.

Below are two setups:

1. 8ft spinning option paired with a Daiwa BG3000 reel for surf fishing. Total = $150
2. 6ft6 spinning option paired with a Piscifun Carbon X 1000 for lakes and streams. Total = $100
