Cadence fishing rods?

Never heard of them til right now but it is notable that they claim to use SiC guide inserts. That’s typically a high end feature, but I’m sure China has figured out how to mass produce them by now and stainless frames kinda point towards that. A set of Fuji titanium SIC guides would cost about as much as they’re advertising that rod for.

40-ton carbon is kind of ambiguous, what really matters is the resin used to make the blank. All that said, they seem to know what goes into a good rod and are trying to mimic it at a low price point. Glanced at the reels and they kinda say the same thing, obviously modeled after shimano’s new bodied reels. I’m sure you’ll be more than happy with it for what it costs.

Update after you use it, can never have enough beater rods. There are a lot of companies making rods in that $100 range that aren't as nice on paper as those.

Just ordered a CR7 6’8” medium x-fast spinner. Last one they had. See what we get

I should get it just in time to work the weekend, the next trout smash should be the next. I’ll know more then

Feels like it’ll be a pretty good stick. One thing I don’t like is the microguide tip. I fish braid with a leader almost exclusively and I don’t think the Alberto will pass so,,,, we’ll see

Glad to hear it. Are all the guides micro or just the tip top?

I don’t mind that at all, helps to balance the rod out. I’m not an expert on spinning rods but I believe a guide train that gets sequentially smaller from stripping guide to tip top is the best way to get casting distance out of a given blank. Like I said sounds like they know what they’re doing, might have to pick up a couple for inshore stuff.

Old thread....any long term review on these rods?
