Monarch Spin Combo

Edit: worth the wait. He loves his pole! The replacement was sent quickly and all parts were accounted for.Was really looking forward to giving my husband a birthday fishing basket. Rod came in on time but was missing the top piece. Waiting another week for the replacement, past his birthday but at least he will have a nice trout rod eventually

My rod arrived just fine, unlike other reviews that mentioned it arrived damaged. I bought this rod/reel combo because the bale on my old rod was broken and causing issues. Took this rod out for the first time today and managed to land 2 Rainbow trout using 3/8 oz spoons on 6lb monofilament.I'm certainly enjoying this rod! The 7' length really helps when it comes to launching some castmasters out and the reel is pretty smooth. This combo is great for anyone looking for a setup that isn't going to break the bank.

The reel has no ability to turn the handle backwards. It’s like the reel is in anti-reverse mode all the time. I have several Pfleuger reels and they are the best. This however is the lousiest version they could have made. I threw it in my spare parts drawer. I’ll never use it. Even the spool is not interchangeable with my other Pfleuger ultra-light reels. A real POS and would never recommend this purchase. Even the rod broke in the first use. It’s cheap and I got exactly what I paid for.

Decent UL combo for $50

rod looks and feels great dont know maybe im the only guy who knows how to bass fish with a pflueger. all these hub bub about rods snapping. i havenot used it yet cause its been 2 hot and i have no time. first reel i had without an ant ireverse swith on it, im not crazy about that cause i have used that feature a few times but the reel seems ok the president reel seems built more solid but i like the stainless guides on this one i have the apprentice and its a great combo too. caught 200 bass on it easy in a few years paid 55 off ebay this was 52 but the monarch is a 6 footer and seems a tad nicer. enjoy remember if your snagged pull straight back dont rip up thats how u snap rods or just cut the line

I got the ultralight and a 6'6 medium light. Great rods. I keep them hanging in the top of my truck topper. I keep the fenwicks in the hard cases. This is a great combo for day to day general use. They won't break the bank if they get broken. They look awesome too. Buy it

Good

I don’t like that it is a two peace but it is nice
