I just picked up two of these rods a couple of weeks ago. Out of the box they looked great and felt great in the hand, still do. However, the first day out on the water I was very disappointed with the lack of sensitivity. I have a Hallow Point and a Ballistic rod from Old18 and love them a lot and expected the same great product. Unfortunately, out of all of my other similarly priced rods from several different brands, these two Ascent rods are the least sensitive rods on my boat and I’m not quite sure what to think about that, as I had really high expectations of them. You live, you learn I guess.
Another great product from a great company
I love this rod. Great sensitivity and can’t beat that they are made in the US! Highly recommend!!!!
so far so good..... Feels good in your hand the the fit and finsh are on point! I have not caught any monsters on this rod yet but it feels as strong as my Hollow Piont but lighter and esier to handle.
Rod is good quality. Guides, handle, reel seat is good. The sensitivity could be better though.
