For the money, it is honest. The rod is quite good and its construction is notable, always considering the money you spend.

It went on sale from 85.50 to 53, so I bought it immediately... Italian product.
Let's start with the positives: good construction, accurate.
Now for the negatives, the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I would have liked it to be a bit smaller and most importantly, it came without a reel and rope!!! If you find it for 60, get it, but don't pay more because it doesn't come complete.
