Very bad rod, after five short fishing trips the tip broke and it became useless. If I had bought a Chinese one, it would have lasted longer.

Very nice and sturdy rod. With a good reel, you can go anywhere. I have been using it for 6 months and it is excellent. I highly recommend it.

Economical but the tip of the rod broke after 10 fishing trips

My son was really looking forward to it and we were completely disappointed… It broke during casting on the third day of use, it hadn't been hit nor had it caught a fish, what a shame

vfm rod, it can be used for both casting and eging if needed, which makes it suitable for someone who is a beginner or for a child. For spinning it is decent, but if you want to get serious you need to move up a level.

after 5-6 fishing trips (unsuccessful), it broke at the joint from the thin shaft during a cast with a 40gr bombarda and silicone worm
the rod had not fallen, had not been hit, had not cast with a closed pick-up, had not gotten stuck, had not caught a fish.
otherwise, very nice long casts even with lures of 20-25gr
if you want to keep it for a lifetime, reinforce the joint, maybe with some insulating tape etc

It is a rod that does not have great durability or much flexibility. It is a rod for 4-6 months, not more.

It broke on the first day of use..
My little one was disappointed because he was really looking forward to it..
I had seen it in other reviews too but I thought it was just bad luck or misuse..
It is quite a fragile product, better choose something else..

At this price, you won't find anything better.. Very good balance.. pleasant feel in the hand.. as light as it gets... compared to other carbon ones I had.. no comparison... buy it with your eyes closed

The worst rod I have ever had in my life. When I bought it, I was super happy, I had only gone twice and on the third time I went, I caught a pike and it broke!!!

Amazing rod, I got it for turbot weighing 20-50g, so far very good for long casting and it brings out 4-kilo fish without difficulty, for the money it's amazing.

Well, for beginners and intermediate anglers in SPINNING, it is definitely worth the money; I caught fish ranging from 0.500 grams to 3.5 kilos, the largest with great ease using this specific rod in combination with a SHIMANO reel.

I don’t know why some comments say it’s not good.

I was fully satisfied, and I have already found the next SHIMANO products I will buy in the winter.

Check out the photos with some of the fish; all were caught with this specific rod, and of course, the artificial baits should always be within the recommended weights of the company.

The best for its price. I have had it for 4 months and I have used it for fishing day after day, from morning till night, and it hasn't had any issues. I have caught many big fish with it

The FX XT is a very good rod and for its money it is perfect and it doesn't have anything good only that the rings bend relatively easily

I have had this specific fishing rod for about 2 years. I have used it for spinning, eging, and casting in all kinds of terrains, from seas to rivers and lakes. The rod has withstood many big fish and squids. The times I have accidentally dropped it are countless and yet it has not suffered any damage. It seems like you need to have some talent to break it. Also, in moments of desperation, it has proven to be a very good casting rod. Its casting weight may be 10-30gr but I have never had any issues with long casts with sizes from 3gr and above.

I am referring to the 2.10 xt 10-30.
Simply excellent. Set with the Shimano fx4000 reel, Shimano Kairiki 8 clone thread 0.28, and Shimano Ulterga 0.33 fluorocarbon invisible line for finesse fishing, it works incredibly well for LRF, with amazing capabilities for artificial lures, as well as for Shore Jigging with great casts on 20-gram jigs, and for Casting with a 25-gram pencil that literally disappears.
In my opinion, a trustworthy choice.

The rod for its price is clearly the best on the market.
After almost 4 years of ownership and intense use, it has handled Kokalias, Loutsous, Hunters weighing 2-3 kilos up to 5-kilo palamida, without any issues.
Over the years, it has softened, which I do not consider a negative thing, its accuracy ranges from 17g to 30g.
It has forgiven many mistakes in fish lifting where others would have broken, I believe that it takes talent to break it.
With the right line, max PE 1.2, it will never disappoint you.
I tried it with the fx2500 at first, then it matched perfectly with the fx4000, which I consider a better choice for this rod.
It is perhaps the most suitable choice, especially for someone who wants to start or for anyone with a low budget

We have had the 2.70m and 10-30cw fishing rod for 1.5 years. The rod has literally caught everything from squid, octopus, tornadoes, bream, cuttlefish, and amberjack. It has never let us down and is very durable. I highly recommend it. Many times we caught fish without any effort. After 1.5 years of heavy use, only 3 guides broke. It has truly given us tremendous experiences

I have had it in my possession for 2 years and it hasn't had any issues, I just don't like the shots it makes. I should have paid more for something better.

The fishing rod is excellent...
You can even do casting as I easily send a 30-gram weight to 50 meters, I have easily caught a 1+ kilogram fish with the Shimano FX4000 reel.
Very reliable.

The fishing rod is fine and quite powerful, but it is heavy. Over time, you realize that it cannot provide the detail needed to work with certain artificial lures

It seemed like a good fishing rod, but after 10 fishing trips, it broke during the cast. The strange thing is that I always cleaned it after each fishing trip and generally kept it in good condition.
