These rods are very sensitive. I've been using them to throw the D2 jigs with 4lb SOS line. You can feel even the softest strike.

Shocked at the quality
I recently ordered two. I was shocked at the quality of these rods. I use these over my St. Croix Panfish series rods because the tips of these rods are so much better when using Trout Magnets. This company really thinks things through before they introduce a product. I really enjoy ultralight angling in my retirement and I especially enjoy using Trout Magnets.

ROD-150
I purchased one of these rods when they first came out. This rod has been from West Virginia to the Rocky’s. It’s the only rod I use trout fishing. I’ve landed 1k + using this rod, sos line tipped with a trout magnet. One simply can’t go wrong!!

MY GO TO ROD
I've owned 3 sore lip series rods, and are hands down my favorite. I paired my first 2 with the Shimano 1000d reel, and is a heck of a set up that's yet to let me down. My 3rd rod is paired with the balo reel. I fish bluegill, redear, and crappie all on the s.o.s. 2 lb test. Ive even landed a 3 lb bass on that same 2 lb line at beaver fork lake in Conway. Never had one break, except for when I rolled up the windows on my jeep...oops. 5 out of 5 stars for these rods.

Great Rod
Have to say with price point wasn't sure how it would perform. I am very pleased to say this rod blew my expectations away. Excellent castability even with light lures on 4lb test line. Great sensitivity even over some of my higher priced rigs! Excellent trout rod couldn't be more pleased!!

My New Favorite Rod
I agree with the other reviews. This is my new favorite rod. I wasn't even looking for a new rod just happened to pick one up in a tackle shop and just had to buy it. I use it for crappie, trout, perch and gills. I have landed some big bass as well with this rod.

best rod ever
I have bought this rod and it is invincible. I have bought high end rods in the past and they snap instantly. I usually treat my gear with care but nothing holds up. This rod is light and a great action for trout and bass. It can cast b split shots about 50 yards with ease. Highly recommend.

Awesome rod and lures
I received my sore lip series rod a couple days ago and upon opening the package I was amazed by the quality and feel of the rod. I went out yesterday to the South Holston to try it out. This rod allowed me to have longer drifts and cast the trout magnet further than with my 4’6” rod. I also can’t say enough about the trout magnet lure itself. The bite was tough yesterday, they were running a generator and sluicing which made conditions tough. But I was out fishing everyone around me. I am a trout magnet fan and it is the only lure that I ever used to consistently bring trout in with. Along with the rod and lures, I also use the S.O.S line with the fluorocarbon leader. The line is tough and durable and if you don’t think the fluorocarbon leader matters ask my buddy that was fishing 2 ft away from me that got skunked. To summarize your product, it is simple and brings in more trout than any other product.

Sore Lip Series Rod -150
Excellent rod great for jigging for trout or crappie . I look forward to using it this year . I caught several crappie in my farm pond after receiving it a few weeks ago fishing a couple of warm afternoons. The rods were delivered in a few days from the date I ordered them .

Best trout rod ever
This honestly has become my favorite fishing rod that ive ever had. An with it i have caught a many fish. An two of the best fights that ive ever had. Using this rod paired with trout sos 4lb test and a pfluger, and a spinner, nailed a 4.5lb small mouth in the river, talk about a fight, seemed like it lasted forever, an later on hooked a 31in. Chanel cat using the same setup, in a pond near my home. Talk about a surprise that was. But through it all this rod has Never faulted, an i plan on building me another one soon. The action is simply perfect, an tbh i seem to cast way further using this rod compared to my fenwick of similar size an setup. That says alot when comparing the prices.
