Rod is decent, just not backed by LL Bean
buy your rod from another retailer, if anything goes wrong, LL Bean will not be of any help.

Quality rod and good casting distance (10ft rod)

Took a chance. Good gamble
Took a chance on this. Wanted a 9 foot inshore rod. Couldn't find a Shimano in stock anywhere. Bean had this. I don't think of LL Bean as a fishing rod outfitter. @ the same time,

Super fast delivery, not the best rod though
