The end rod segment bends to 90 degrees. The bottom 3 segments are stiffer, with about 10 degrees of flex. This is a lightweight rod, forced 'hand' bending beyond these limits can cause breakage that is not covered under warranty. The only breakage we've experienced has been during lab testing - where we intentionally go beyond the limits. No fish has broken one yet, but what a story that would make.
The Baitcasting Reel is high quality and is very serviceable. This is the larger of our two bait cast reels. The 'STD' boasts greater line capacity and user selectable left and right hand retrieve.
In between the left and right selector is a middle postiion that permits the spool to freewheel for basic casting.
There is also a drag setting on the side. While it is not as sensitive or variable as drags on more expensive reels, it does permit some adjustment.
This combination is commonly used for pier, dock or ice fishing. This model has adjustable drag and a thumb brake button, it is ready to catch fish. A built in line clip keeps fishing line from tangling while in storage. It is equipped with a special base clip to attach to the pen rod. Reels do not come with fishing line. It is recommended that you load them with 4 to 6lb. test line (we like Spiderwire EZ or Stren Magnathin 4LB test).
