Needed a replacement big wiper rod after my Shimano Clarus 6' medium one piece broke on a rock fall, and was going to pull the plug on spending over $100 for a St. Croix Premier but wile browsing saw this on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Cadence-Fish...s=gateway&sprefix=Cadence,aps,175&sr=8-3&th=1
With free shipping + discount coupon couldn't resist so ordered one which was delivered quickly on time in a sturdy cardboard tube + outer box. Felt good in hand - light and snappy with exceptional for the price point 6 SIC guides + tip top. Next day field test got some decent tuggers which were controlled better than current go to 5'3" light Fenwick HMG. Day after that a 25# flathead in fast current obliged which definitely passed the holding power strength test.
Bought another one soon thereafter as a backup since ALL my rods eventually break considering my rock crawling preference. Altho I won't field test it gave it a serious unloaded dry fire buggy whipping test that should snap any defective weak spots.
Cadence also has an upscale CR7 model for a reasonable 25 bucks more but for now what I got feels just right. The company claims they can offer high value for the price by selling direct online with no dealers.
