SEASIR Stream Fishing Rod

I purchased both the 6'6" L Spinning and the 5'6" UL Spinning rods. The 5'6" UL feels like a true UL rod. The 6'6" L is slightly more stiff than I expected and feels more like a ML. That being said, the rod still has a nice bend and taper to it. The wood handle looks nice and is comfortable to grip in hand. The unique part of this rod is how the two pieces join together. The top of the bottom half is a solid section rather than a hollow section. When that slides into the top piece, it provides a more solid feel that makes it feel more like a one piece rod. I did a video review of this rod and have already caught a nice 3.81 lb winter smallmouth bass with this which is posted the video to the FishingThePNW YouTube channel.

Seasir has some really fantastic products in their fishing rod lines. I own two of these now, the 6’6” light spinning rods are perfect for crappie. And they’re tough enough to handle fighting a 6 pound catfish. Double hook drop shots are no issue, even if you hook up on both. They cast really well, and they’re so light, but you can feel a crappy or bluegill nibble like you’re holding the line.

Good rod, lightweight, flexible. I wanted something for trout/bass and this is perfect. I do like i's in two parts as well, easier to carry and store.

Purchased 2 rods. First use in small Utah lake for small trout. Small 12 inch rainbows snapped both ends of the rod 6 inches from the end. Not happy.

Great ultralight rod for the price. I have the 5’6” model and it’s handled hundreds of panfish and even a few 3+ lb bass without any problems. I did have one issue with the rod tip (which was completely my fault) and the company took care of it quickly. Excellent performance and excellent customer service.

The fishing rod guides seem nice and appear to be Fuji quality. However the “Solid Wooden Handles are not actually wood but plastic painted to appear as wood. this made the pile very slippery in my hands. Combine that with the weight of the reel on the top side and the rod wanted to continually flip around so the reel was on the bottom. The lack of quality grip made keeping the reel on the top nearly impossible when my hands got wet.

I love this rod it looks awesome and works well. Only time will tell how well it’s built. I wish it had a bait keeper. It is pretty lightweight and durability seem good. I have only had it for a few days and have caught 14 trout on it without any issues. I am not gentle on my equipment, had it out in the rain for 4 hours straight and the handle material seems good.

I've ordered and returned two very inexpensive "ultralight" spinning rods in the last few weeks. Most of them were simply too stiff for what I consider to be delicate fishing for small stream trout. Sure, they didn't weigh much in the hand, but their actions were like that of a fence post. The Seasir rod is 5 1/2 feet long and it, too, is stiff in the belly where it needs to be, but it's flexible in the upper 1/3, which is exactly what I was wanting. I've not fished this rod, yet, but I can tell it's going to be sensitive and fun. Seasir's designers have really hit the bullseye by eliminating the cork handle, as well. I've got more than several rods out in the garage that have chunks missing out of the cork grips. Turns out mice love to eat cork, who knew? Those rods are now destined for the dump. Not to mention most of the world's cork comes from Portugal and those trees are being depleted. Seasir's grips are a combination of synthetic material and, believe it or not, wood. It's also worth mentioning that there is no transition from the blank to the reel seat. In other words, the blank runs all the way through to the butt, which I believe will provide additional sensitivity to strikes/takes. Another big positive is the Fuji O ring guides. Fuji is well known to make the industry standard in rod guides, whether your talking ultralight spinning/casting rods or surf casting or big boat rods. Their slick ceramic guide inserts provide the least amount of friction and unless they are abused will last forever. The current trend is away from ceramic to stainless steel guide inserts, which is a move to save money in manufacturing. The first guide above the reel seat is not your typical large guide, but rather a surprisingly small guide that is supposed to help reduce line twist. It makes sense when you think about the elliptical pattern the line takes when it's coming and going on and off the spool. Line twist is the biggest root cause of loops being created in the line on the spool. And if you don't strip out the loop then that loop can become a "birds nest" in the next cast or two. So, reducing line twist is no small thing. The ONLY negative I've found is this rod doesn't have a hook keeper in front of the reel seat. I'm not going to nick a star for this because hook keepers are just a convenience and not a necessity. And you really shouldn't snug up any hook or lure against the tip-top guide because of the potential for damage to that ceramic insert. Instead, you can simply use the first guide's frame (not the ceramic ring) to secure the hook or lure, but even that isn't a great idea. Honestly, you should make it a habit to take a few extra seconds to tear down your rod for transport and store it in a rod sleeve or hard case. Seasir provides a nice padded neoprene sleeve to protect your rod. Sure, it means having to thread your line back through the guides the next time you go fishing, but just how lazy are you? The price for not tearing down a rod is slamming it in a car door or stepping on it while loading, etc. You get the idea. There is good news here, too. The joint between the two sections is not traditional for spinning rods and more like expensive fly rods in that there is no ferrule to wear out or crack due to uneven pulling or twisting. There is actually a correct way to disassemble a rod and a wrong way. The right way involves holding the rod behind your lower back with one hand and then pulling the top section out of its seat with the other. It's the ONLY way you can get an absolutely linear pulling force when separating the sections. There is no need to twist or bend the rod at the joint, which means less wear and tear to your prized fishing tools. It is especially important with rods that have built-up ferrules that are more subject to breakage. If you buy a Seasir spinning rod you will not be disappointed, I guarantee it. JD
