i pick one of these combos up a few days ago it is a awsome set up and it is liteweight and is balanced out really well it has a 7 foot split grip rod and it has great back bone for setting the hook the reel is a 7 bearings and a flippin switch and it will cast a country mile with ease it is going to be my new jig setup they are awsome combos if you are a budget fishermen or need a good backup rod and reel
