Shimano Solora 2-Piece Spinning Fishing Rod

Helene G. Mark: Nothing to dislike!! Perfect length 6’6” and light but not too light. The only rods and reels that we use are made by Shimano!!
A good buy….you won’t be disappointed!!

Steve: I like a 2 piece spinning rod for traveling so it fits in the car easily. This rod is great for that and holds together nicely.

HH: As described. Its Shimano can't go wrong. This rod is good for 16" + trout but you can't load it up with lots of weight like my other rod which is Abu Garcia where I can put 5oz easy. If you add weights to this rod it bends where my AG is solid like a Cannon.

The Deakins: Seems like a good product, time will tell. It arrived in a timely fashion, but we all know that slow deliveries rarely has anything to do with the vendor and everything to do with the carrier.

ROCK-Review: Got this Shimano Solora rod to fit my Pflueger Trion reel. Works like a charm. Caught a large 20lbs carp without any breakage. This rod claims to be of medium flexibility, which I concur it is. Not to flexible but enough to feel the nib of small panfish.

Andy: I've taken my Shimano Solora out a few times with a shimano spinning reel. It's worked perfect but after being thrown into the back of my car a few times one of the guides are bent out. For the price i think if one was to take care of it very well it would be able to be used long term. However, don't expect to use this rod for years and years. It is exactly as you paid for.

I still give it 4 stars because it is an excellent price and if very very carefully maintained should last for a few seasons.

Deanna: You can't beat it for the price! I bought my husband a much more expensive rod and this one for myself, and after a month of use, he has decided that he prefers my inexpensive rod, so we are ordering another one and the pricey rod will now become our spare. :)

RRSR: I purchased two 6'6" Solara spinning rods, one medium and one medium heavy. My wife uses the medium and so far she has caught more flounder and larger flounder in the light surf and inlets than I have. This is proof positive that the fast action tip and the feel of this rod is as advertised, told her one time how to cast and she has perfected that (using a Shimano Rapid Fire 4000 reel) and told her how to "feel" a flounder hitting her red-headed jig with 4" white curly tail body and she gets it. This is a woman that had never salt water fished in her life. I look at the high dollar rods advertised for over $100 each and many over $200 and then think about these two rods at $14 each delivered and wonder, "can those rods be that much better or lighter?" Proof is in the ability to catch a fish and enjoy "catching" as well as "fishing". Our 8 yr old grandson uses a 6' FX Shimano and is even more skilled than his grandmother. These rods are value purchases and I recommend them to any and all fishermen regardless of experience or age.
