A very overlooked brand in my opinion, amazing quality, look and feel. 30/70 split makes this rod the best of both worlds in terms of performing like a 1 piece and breaking down for ease of transport. very light rod compared to how it looks. The grip wrap is very comfortable and secure when hands are wet.

Spent many weeks researching this size and capacity of rod. Currently own Tsunami Elite and St Croix Triumph rods, but wanted a happy medium in length, weight and casting power.
The Shadow model offered everything I needed, in an economical product.
It�s like casting with a knitting needle, after using rods feeling like utility poles.
Paired with my Shimano Vanford 500 the rod and reel weigh just over 16 ounces.

I ordered a Jigging World Shadow surf rod back in February for redfish on the OBX, 10� medium heavy. This rod casts like no other, and handles bull reds with ease. Paired with a Daiwa BG 5000, it�s easily my favorite rod, and I have Century rods that cost almost twice as much.
