  • The rod was purchased on August 1, 2025 and on December 29, with a cast of 80 grams, normal not strong, it broke at the base, that is, at the first telescopic section. It is probably a material failure, I will contact the store where I bought it, I hope the 2-year warranty covers it as it broke in two on the 4th fishing trip. Stay away from this particular rod, I am referring to the 4.20 meter 200 gram version because I was very disappointed even though it is Shimano.

    After 11 months, during retrieval with a 60g sinker and a hooked fish, it broke in two and gave up the ghost. I was unpleasantly surprised, because with theoretically inferior Trabuco rods, with action up to 150 grams, I was never disappointed, pulling up rays up to 50 kilos. It's a shame because they make nice reels but do not have the quality worthy of their name. Needless to say, I will never buy a Shimano rod again. Mine was 4.20/200g and the most unpleasant part was that when I returned it to the store of purchase, I was informed that it is not covered by the supposed 2-year warranty, meaning wasted money for nothing, shame! If I could, I would give it a -1 rating! Stay away from this particular rod!

    I have to say that the fishing rod is great in terms of construction and its casts are satisfactory with 100-130 weights. I got it because a friend had it and I tested it in southern winds and it seemed quite good in terms of casting and how it behaves in bites compared to its very low price. I have been using it for 7 months and it hasn't had any issues, although I don't throw it tightly loaded in case it breaks. I mainly refer to the 200 model, but I also have the smaller one, which the fish seem to love.

    I think it is worth more than its price... Awesome in shots, really awesome in shots, and this is because it has a good thickness at the back to give you grip... In terms of construction, it is sturdy, simply... I have the 200 gram CW version... I cannot speak for the other one that has a max of 150 grams, but guys, it has Shimano quality, what can we say...
