Daiwa Spinmatic-SMD Rod

Absolutely thebest pack rod for hiking/back packing, Ive ever seen. I own several telescoping and travel rods. For ultra light fishing and packing in a backpack the absolute best pole and durable. Just usedit in the Tetons fishing, fit in my backpack. Thebest

Nice!

You can get decent distance without losing your bait from the hook.

I picked up this Daiwa Spinmatic-SMD ultralight rod for travel, and it’s become one of my favorite rods, hands down. The 4-piece design makes it super easy to pack—I’ve thrown it in a suitcase and taken it all over with no issues. Performance-wise, it’s sensitive and has great action. Perfect for small spinners and finesse fishing. I’ve caught everything from panfish to 20+ inch catfish on it, and it held up way better than I expected for an ultralight rod. It’s lightweight, feels great in the hand, and honestly punches way above its price. I’d absolutely buy it again. If you’re looking for a compact, reliable ultralight rod, this is it.

Nice overall. Good length, light and flexible for casting small spinners a lures. Fits in suitcase for travel.

Great rod.

This was my first 4 piece rod, I paired it with a daiwa ultralight 750 reel. I love it, I usually use it with my spinners, either mepps, roosters, or joes flies, this thing flips them a long way and the action is just right. I ordered a second after how much I like the first. I put 4lb braid on it and use a 6lb flouro leader and it's perfect. I've caught a bunch of walleye and catfish on it along with a few smallmouth. Surprisingly it pulled in a couple 24"+ catfish. I got it for trout but this is a great all around rod if you like finesse fishing. You can't drag fish in with this, take your time, fight it.

Surprisingly good, almost as good of action as single piece rods. I carry this in the car now instead of my Lew's or Fenwick

Great rod
