Hi Bergie and the team, I have received the Adventure extremely rods however I haven' seen them as yet, my wife didn't know what to buy me so I told her these would be good, when they arrived she had them extremely wrapped not to be opened until Santa says so. I am looking forward very much to get them set up and start fishing with them. I have not done much fishing with bait caster outfits, but have learnt that a good quality rod is essential for a beginner like myself, thanks for the early preview of the rods. Merry Fishing to all and stay safe on the water. Cheers Paul
