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.

I had it for a month and the glass ring of the first guide broke, causing it to eat up my fishing line and I had to make the specific makeshift solution that didn't last long. And during fishing, when I caught a 600g sea bass, it broke in half.

  Awesome rod, I got it for turbot at 20-50g, so far very good for long casts and it brings out 2-kilo fish without difficulty

  This review is about the length open: 2.10 m

  I have put it through a lot and it is unbreakable!!! I use it with silicone baits but also with a 2.5 squid jig; I even do casting in certain cases with an 8-gram weight!!! Used in both sea and river

  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

  This review is about the length open: 2.10 m

  Having already in my possession a more expensive LRF rod, I have to say that this is a decent budget Aji rod with a solid tip, moderately soft mainly for silicones. It cuts through the bones. However, it is not for beginners because it is not very sensitive and does not hear well, also you do not have a sense of hooking resulting in losing some fish. The weight with an fx 1000 mechanism falls forward and does not give you the balance for a relaxing fishing. I recommend it to experienced anglers who want a second cheap rod for bones

  This review is about the length open: 2.40 m

  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.

  This review is about the length open: 2.10 m

  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.

  I have it for two years with the same engine as 2500 and it is flawless. It is a very good fishing rod for someone who is starting for the first time

  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.
