I can’t figure out to edit my original review so I will post a new one. The first thing I want to say is that Bait Finesse Empire has treated me well! My purchase experience was great, and any communication has been great. With that being said, the Kuying Teton rod is in my experience not worth the price tag. I previously stated in my first review that the rod guides were off-center. Yesterday while fishing I needed to pull some line out to re-tie a lure. My drag is set loose so the line comes out easily. I pulled on the end of my line creating a moderate bend in the rod (way less load than a fish puts on the rod) and the rod snapped about 15″ from the tip. When I consider the misaligned rod guides, the dead feeling/lack of sensitivity, and now the rod breaking under normal use I wouldn’t recommend this rod. Again I should have saved a little longer and got a higher-quality rod. I want to state again that I do not blame Bait Finesse Empire in any way. I’ll start saving money and buy a new rod from this website in a couple of months.
