The rods are real nice.

Reviews
Easy to break, very brittle
"This is my second rod, the first was a premiere that broke on a tree snag. The second an Avid series, was on a bucket list trip in the wilderness and it broke on hauling in some weeds the first day l ever used it. Both were 2 piece rods. Always right above the section where they meet. Still waiting to hear from customer service. I filled out the online warranty 10 days ago."
