pinnacle marine makes a great rod. i just bought 6 of them. 30-100 lb class trolling rods
All the great builders on this board, and you are looking at korean built rods??? Look at Canyon Runner up in your area, or Paul, or whoever you like.
Im confident that you will be happier with quality rods from a local builder, not korean rods. They have a low price for a reason.

The rods have alot of problems. I have done alot of repairs on them. The guides finish last about a month in salt water use and the epoxy used to glue butts and grips gives up shortly there after. I do rod repair in Ocean City and have repaired 10 from last summer alone save your money please.

YOU ANSWERED YOUR OWN QUESTION DUDE...YOU SAID "CHEAP" AND YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR...
I STAY AWAY FROM EBAY ITEMS THAT USE "KEY WORDS" AND "TAGS" SUCH AS THIS COPY AND PASTE FROM YOUR LINK...Trolling rollered Rod for Penn International / Tiagra
THIS PERSON ON EBAY USES PENN AND TIAGRA TAGS TO LURE PEOPLE INTO THINKING THAT A PINNACLE ROD IS RELATED OR IS AS GOOD AS THESE SAID COMPANIES....TO ME IT IS A MISREPRESENTATION OF QUALITY TOWARDS THE BUYER
You want some quality rods? Consider these Builders HERE on the site. These guys will build you what you want! And if you dont really know what you want, theres enough experience here to give you the insight to make the right decision.
JPR RODS
ANGLERS ENVY
CANYON RUNNER
These boys use what they build and know what they are doing. Take advantage of their knowledge.![]()
I have some old fisher built stuff but cracked crazed and almost time for new.. I have two old short star rods also from 12 years ago that have never broke... get these cats to build what you need .. or find good stuff
I guess you could say pauls stuff is American made...lol
haha ok thanks guys, i will not purchase
A lot of junk rods on Ebay, I know personally, I own plenty of them. You'll get a season or two out of them then go spend the money on higher quality rods, I am going through my arsenal and having Anglers Envy build my rods as I can swing it, very happy so far and you can tell you won't be replacing those rods any time soon.
for all that claim these rods are junk, did you ever personally use one. seems that members of other fishing sites are quite happy with there pinnacle rods, now im not bashing our sponcers however some of us are on a fishing budget, i personally cannot afford a $300 trolling rod since i troll 9 to 11 rods. maybe 1 day after i win the lottery i,ll get one of those fancy rods with my name on it ,but for now its what i can afford, as for the rod needing to be repaired, im buying a fishing rod, not a toyota.
