IMO, the size 20 reel is the right size for this rod. Used once at on the Chattahoochee river and it was sensitive and handled the stocked trout quite well in fairly swift current. Excellent rod for drift fishing. The 8' model is best for a larger river and when you are able to wade out in the water or have little obstructions on the bank to worry about. The rod is a little more stiff than other UL rods that I have used, but nice bend and action with medium sized stocked trout. Can't wait to hook into a real nice one to really put it to the test. I would definitely purchase again. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly good rod *by on Reviewed in the United States December 11, 2024* Honestly, I have zero complaints. This thing has been great. Everything feels like a monster. Haha. Just took it Snook fishing to laugh at myself while getting smoked but it handled them incredibly well. Even caught a 4.5lb bass with it… I use a 500 sized Kastking zephyr (my go too reel I have 7 from 500-4000) with 6lb braid. If you are looking for a great ultralight I would definitely recommend this one. The 8ft can cast light lures FAR. It’s a little whippy but certainly not a noodle. ### ⭐ Bad choice. Sad *by on Reviewed in the United States December 1, 2022* Bought this rod early 2021. Really liked it and used it regularly. May 2022 the tip broke while casting a 1/4oz jig. I just trimmed it back a couple inches and added a new tip guide and kept using it. September 2022 the rod breaks again about 2/3 of the way up the blank landing a fish. The warranty only says 30 days but I emailed Berkley customer service anyway. They requested pictures and the receipt and 3 weeks later a brand new one arrived at my house. Awesome!! right ? Used it a couple time and 3rd time out the new replacement breaks between the 4th and 5th guides while casting a 3/8 oz carolina rig. I'm not going to bother contacting Berkely again. Even if they sent me another free replacement rod I have so little confidence in the product I would never use it. Customer service was great but the reviews on this rod proved to be correct. Very prone to breakage which is a shame because I liked the rod and the price was affordable. UPDATE: after the 1st replacement rod broke I did send customer service another email telling them of my utter disappointment. They asked for more pics etc which I never bothered to send but 3 weeks later out of the blue another replacement rod showed at my front door. Although the customer service has been unexpectedly good... the rods just can't be trusted. The brand new 2nd replacement rod will eventually be given away or sold on a garage sale. ## Frequently Bought Together - Berkley Lightning Rod Spinning Fishing Rod - Berkley Trilene XL Monofilament Fishing Line - Pflueger President Spinning Fishing Reel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/58295654-8-lightning-rod-trout-rod-two-piece-trout-rod-2](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/58295654-8-lightning-rod-trout-rod-two-piece-trout-rod-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
