This rod is a very good rod but the ark manufacturers need to swap the guides to the ark guides because the eyes that come with this rod are metal and they get very sharp easily.
Spouse broke a spinning rod (catalyzer) that was within the warranty period. Replacement process was easy and prompt. So far she likes the fishing rod.
Great Rods . Light weight sensitive. Great rod for the price
Great rod and customer service. Outstanding product
A friend of mine recommended these rods telling me they're good for the money. I was skeptical because of the buy 3 for $99. I should have trusted my gut. First rod broke after 2nd use. Set the hook and it snapped using a drop shot. It was a 7' MLFS-Spinning. Exchanged it through warranty for a new rod, but of course I was responsible for shipping. And yesterday I had another one of my rods snap after the first time using it throwing a 3/8oz weight with a sweet beaver plastic. This time it was a 7'3" MHFC-Casting. So now I have to file another warranty claim and pay for shipping again. Maybe I'll get lucky and the 2 replacement rods will hold up. I have requested a refund for the remaining 4 rods. I don't recommend these and won't be purchasing any ARK products in the future.
