Llegó en buen estado y antes de lo previsto . Excelente calidad .

1. Shipping tube, super amazing, I don't know how KK can do that at these prices. With graphite, invisible damage can be done especially via lateral concentrated impact. Can look fine until it snaps where hit under load. As another reviewer mentioned, "The mailman couldn't damage it if he tried."2. Handle grip material. Perfect. Non slip when wet or fish slimed. As another mentioned, easy to clean. Add durable, and aesthetically pleasing. Won't flake dust over the years like some that have a non slip sponge like forming process, the Crixus process is superior.3. Weight. I've learned the hard way, that fishing all day, cast after cast, takes a toll on your dominant hand, wrist, and arm. Ounces make a difference. Crixus rods are almost my lightest. Lighter and at same price range is my Cadence 6'6" Medium, Fast 2 pc, featuring a "30 ton" blank. But it was about $10 more, and like a precision instrument that I'm constantly concerned about damaging.4. Guides - but, I like the Crixus guides more than the Cadence. My best guides are on my Perigee II (KastKing from here on Amazon). Those guides are works of art.5. Stength. No worries, despite featherweight. My largest forces have been pulling myself to where I've been hung, like a tree branch or vine like reeds, or rocks, while in a 13.5' Sea Eagle fast track angler kayak against the wind. No creaking, groaning, nor worry. As far as fish, these will never break unless there's been invisible damage or been/being abused.6. Quality/Aestetics - these are just the right amount of gorgeous. I don't worry as much, transporting in car. I am *always* concerned to avoid sharp, impact no matter what rod it is, though. So my Cadence goes into my hatchback last. Order of least concern goes like this:Walmart rod of sort, no, it already broke but was under 20 bux, next my Souigyang (sp?) telecsopic), next Shakespeare GX2 Ugly, next my Diawa 1 piece (excellent M-H 1 pc), next my 3 Crixus rods, then my Perigee II, and last to load, my Cadence. Imo, my best looking rods for their minimalist, no flash, finishes are my Crixus and Cadences. For minimalist but can flash due to gloss, with some bit of extra doodling, that is my Perigee II.5. As far as manufacturing tolerances/consistency I trust whomever KK uses for their *Crixus* rods. Although KastKing's 2-tip option Perigee II rod sections don't appear to seat "...all the way." They seat inward enough, and that is still good enough with 10 or 15% off@checkout. Does not impact function. In fact I just ordered another Perigee II. Plus another Crixus. Because I've become an Amazon junkie. The Crixus series of rods have no flaws, aesthetic nor other.6. POWER/Action/situational awareness -I am a weekend and spontaneous, is that a pond? Pull over type of guy. Never to be pro, that would ruin the hobby aspect and main reason I fish. Which is to get out, get fresh air, away from screens, get a healthy dose of sunlight, exercise body and distance vision. I do like to catch fish, if I do it's a bonus.Quality at reasonable prices is a philosophy of mine I live daily.Crixus rods I believe are truly as rated. 6' Med Light Fast, true imo. It is my sole Ultralight paired to a 2000 Plueger President and 4 pound monoflouro.6' Medium Heavy Fast. Yep - it'll do well enough for my bigger baits, frogging.Both bend where they should, andsurprisingly, are strong as nails for as lightweight as they are. Super backbones.Sensitivity- upthere! This is crucial for how I fish, which is, few bites quality over quantity. I can feel everything. Stumps, rocks, the slightest of bites. On either med light or med heavy.In this category, from 1st to 3rd, with margins being all the same in actual real world use: Cadence, Perigee II, Crixus.I own 3 Crixus, 2 Perigee II, and one Cadence rod.

Strong, lightweight and comfortable on the hands. I’ve used it and abused it for about 2 months, dropped it in the water, accidentally smacked it against dock pylons and branches and haven’t had so much as a scratch. Great rod, no complaints.

Pole tore it up today. I like the action on it, light weight. I had used it a few days with jugs, no luck. Today I used slip bobber, and worms. Worth every penny. Also loved the packaging. I rock with Kastking. Pliers, gripper, poles, reels. I like there products.

Full disclosure, I haven't fished with these yet because I bought them in the winter and between season closures, weather and other obligations, I haven't been fishing since I got them.I bought two of the spinning rods and have since bought a casting rod.The first thing I can tell you is that when you order a KastKing rod, you can be pretty certain it will arrive in perfect condition.They definitely know how to package a fishing rod for shipping.I've had some mixed results when ordering rods on Amazon from other companies, which has made me reluctant to order a rod on Amazon.Rest assured if you order a KastKing rod, you'll have to break it yourself after you unpack it from the plastic bag and foam pads that secure it inside of the indestructible, heavy cardboard tube that's inside the cardboard box they shipped it in.The rods are super lightweight.I usually prefer a one piece rod for the sensitivity and peace of mind knowing it isn't going to come apart while casting, but these are 2 pieces, which I wanted because I can fit them in my wife's car if we use that instead of my truck for whatever reason.I can't see any flaws or defects in the materials or construction of these rods.The guides and reel seat look great.The handle material is comfortable and should be easy to keep clean.I usually prefer a little more handle than what these have when fishing the bays and rivers, but that's just my personal preference.These should be perfect for the creeks and lakes and areas where I won't be trying to haul big fish out of heavy cover all day.I think they'll be great for casting swim baits along the sod banks for schoolie stripers and similar fish.They're light enough to cast all day and seem strong enough to get the fish to the kayak or the shore or whatever you're fishing from.
