CR5-661S-MF

This Rod is really nice. Great sensitivity, light weight, casts well, very good price and she's purdy! :) This is a sleeper of a product.

Please, if you’re on the fence about purchasing a fishing rod, look no further. I would consider myself an amateur when it comes to getting back into fishing again. I was in the market for the best spinning rod I could get while keeping a budget of around $100 to build a nice summer bass fishing spinning combo. I liked that this rod was cork, and looked very nice in the product images. I read through many reviews and all were amazed by this fishing rod. I’ve never heard of the brand before but I couldn’t resist ordering one for only $60 bucks! Came VERY well packaged in a typical cylindrical tube. No damages or scratches on the graphite or cork. I ordered the 7 foot 2 piece medium spinning rod. Paired it with a white kastking crixus reel and 35 pound yellow braid on a 8 foot 15lb fluorocarbon leader. So here’s the deal : I was totally lost for words casting with this fishing rod. Casts incredibly smooth! Has the perfect amount of backbone while having a fast tip. The sensitivity of this fishing rod is unbelievable. The smallmouth bass fishing here on Lake Erie is in its prime and it’s not difficult to land 5 pound smallmouths. I fished this rod using a drop shot rig and casted from shore. This is by far the best fishing rod I’ve ever used for smallmouth fishing. Strong hook set, super durable, incredibly smooth, lightweight, sensitive, and is a blast to reel fish in with! It beats my KastKing perigee II bass rod all day long. This is my new favorite all around spinning rod! I’ve fished with my friends LEWS spinning combo he paid $350 dollars for and it doesn’t even compare to this spinning rod. Cadence has my respects in terms of fishing rods. Unbelievable quality at a fantastic price! If you didn’t order this spinning rod already, you’re wasting time!

I'm used to St Croix rods, but I bought a small solo canoe last year and have been fishing small, tight rivers/streams. After breaking a couple of 6.6 rods by not paying close enough attention to obstacles I decided to go less expensive and shorter and gave Cadence a try. I ordered the 6 ft, 2 piece light rod. It arrived very well packed in a strong paper tube. And the rod is inserted into round foam inserts at either end off the tube so it's not rattling around inside. I could not believe how thin and light the rod was. Paired with an old Shimano Stradic 2500 it feels nicely balanced. I took it for a spin shore fishing at a local pond and it seems to cast well enough; distance on par with my St. Croix rods. I haven't given it a serious workout yet, but the craftmanship appears to be sound. My only concern is the reel seat. The locking ring assembly feels fragile compared to my other rods. I'll be exercising extra care there, snugging it down very lightly and checking frequently to keep it snug. All in all, seems to be a very good deal and unless sustained use exposes issues with craftsmanship, I'll be buying more Cadence rods in the future. I do wish the light 2 piece had a fast action option.

Great light weight rod that I paired with a Penn 3500 spinning reel and 17 pound test braided line. Handled flounder, sea trout, red and black drum effortlessly. I like the sensitivity and action for both bait and artificial lures. The rod performs exceptionally well and is very comfortable and reliable for both inshore and offshore fishing. The customer service staff were very considerate and even replaced a rod that suffered a broken tip while traveling free of charge. I liked the rod so much that I bought a second one for freshwater fishing. Great rod, great price and an organization that honors their product warranty by providing exceptional customer service support.

I purchased the Cadence Fishing CR5 Spinning Rod as a Father's Day gift, and it was a huge hit! The rod is lightweight yet incredibly sturdy, made with 30-ton carbon, which makes it both sensitive and durable. The Fuji reel seat adds an extra level of quality and provides a secure fit for the reel. My dad was really impressed with how comfortable the rod is to hold, and it feels well-balanced in hand. The stainless steel guides with SiC inserts are fantastic for smooth line flow, minimizing friction and helping with long-distance casting. My dad used it on a few fishing trips, and he loved how the rod handled both light and heavier tackle with ease. The sensitivity of the rod makes it great for feeling those subtle bites, and the strength of the carbon construction allows him to confidently land bigger fish. It’s not only a high-performance rod but also looks sleek and stylish, making it a great addition to any angler’s collection. The quality and craftsmanship of this rod definitely make it worth the price. If you’re looking for a high-quality spinning rod that would make a great Father’s Day gift or any occasion, I highly recommend the Cadence CR5 Spinning Rod. It’s a fantastic choice for both beginner and seasoned anglers alike!

I’m a blue collar worker so I don’t want to waste my money; this rod is money well spent! I paired it with Penn Pursuit IV 3000 (HT-100 Carbon drag washers at a great value!) and 20lb Power Pro braided and it sings Zoom Super Flukes 5” on 3/4 oz. Jig heads all evening long without tiring my arm. It’s light, comfortable and has great action and power. There details on the rod make it feel above its price point (hook keeper, colorful thread detailing, neat saying written on handle). I tried Penn Wrath & Penn Pursuit lines, several Souligaylang setups (OneBass model isn’t bad for $70), Shakespeare Ugly Stik & KastKing (pole snapped immediately on 10th cast). This is an awesome rod and can take a beating and isn’t so expensive I feel bad about using it like the tool it is. Highly recommended.

I like this rod.

Rod is great, high quality, light weight. But seeing the US price, it is bit expensive in CAD. With that CAD price, it was close to another Daiwa rod, that I thought is better overall.

Really liked the construction of the Rod the feel of the handle the agronomic grip the action was very good but I can only give this rod a one star because the tip broke after only using it a few times I may be through 50 to 60 casts and did a little bit of trolling with it

Fast delivery, excellent packaging, good material and light, next time I will choose a larger size. waiting to try it
