Rod: 2 piece, ultra light action. Perfect for poppers, flies and bugs. Should be able to handle a nice sized bass or crappie. Real cork grip.
Reel: Convertible left/right. Smooth action, non-reversing switch. Light action with a smooth silky spin. Drag works well.
Overall : If you're looking for a 2 piece travel rod, or a new "old friend" to take to the lake, you can't go wrong here.
This is now her go to rod and she uses it all the time. I have a slip bobber with 4LB test mono on it and it casts great. The bobber stops do not get hung up at all on the casts.
I liked hers so much that I bought another one for myself. I enjoy ultra light fishing mainly for the increased casting distance. My normal rod is 7 feet and I was getting tired of constantly taking off my slip bobber to use bass lures.
I use this exclusively for using lures without a bobber. It casts well and because it is small can be used anywhere. I put 15 LB braid on here and it casts well. I will eventually get a bait caster for larger lures but this works great for the .5 oz lured and smaller, which is what I use 90% of the time. It is a perfect little rod at a great price.
UPDATE: I had to get a new reel after less than a year for the rod. The reel that came with it became very "jerky." I took it apart and tried oil and grease but it still was not smooth. For the price, the rod alone is worth it, but the reel didn't hold up long term. I got another inexpensive reel and use this exclusively for panfish off the shore and on my kayak. It works very well with small 1/64 oz jig heads and a float.
