I give it 4 stars because a rod that has the reel higher up does not fit together with the reel. The case is very good and sturdy, but it is for rods that have their reel at the bottom, so you can say it's great for casting rods and some others, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone to buy unless they carefully check the distance between the reel and the rod's handle. If it is at the bottom like the LRF and spinning rods, then yes, it's good, but for other rods, it doesn't fit! Luckily, I have LRF equipment which will eventually be suitable for LRF and spinning equipment
