Awesome rod paired it with Shimano Scorpion 26 DCMD feels perfect for this rod
Beyond happy with it, needed a dedicated softie rod and man did this thing exceed my expectations. Great customer service from the leviathan fam.
This thing is a broomstick pulling hammera out with ease!!!
Sheesh!! Man this Rod Looks and feels better in hand! The handle length is perfect and the Action is top-tier👌🏾.Arrived on time and packaged very nicely.
I bought it because of all the good reviews but as I noticed the quality is a little on the poor side One a string that should have been cut off was just wrapped around and in glossed over and a few bubbles but otherwise not it looks like a nice rod
It is still in perfect condition! I’ve gone out nearly every night for the last few years now since moving to a place with water access. I’ve gotten 4 pbs on this rod since using it. I’ve used this rod daily and have upwards of 800+ fish on it. Basically the ultimate stress test. I’m telling you, the blank doesn’t even have a scratch on it somehow. Guides aren’t worn down or bent. Grips are looking great! The only issue that I have (which isn’t even important) is the cork butt has very small knicks in the bottom just from dragging on the ground. Thats it! I bought this rod within 30 seconds of them coming onto the market last year around August 9th I believe. Or somewhere around there give or take a day or two. I purchased the heavy/moderate model and it Seriously can throw basically any swimbait perfectly. I was losing so many fish on my old swimbait rod but since the simple faith is so parabolic, I have only lost probably less than 3 fish once they were pinned. Out of 800+ Took it out the same night I got it and immediately caught 4 fish on it and knew right away that this rod was something special. Anyways I am finally purchasing a second one. The extra heavy model, and I noticed you could leave a review. I would have left one way sooner if I had noticed that option sooner. My xh is scheduled to arrive in one hour and I’m so stoked (hopefully fedex didn’t break it lol ). I’m not sure if it was like this when they first came out because I do remember having to wait for it for quite a while, but they do 2 day shipping! That’s f’ing incredible for a 8ft rod tube to be shipped to you in under 2 days, essentially free. Not sure how they aren’t losing money because shipping a rod in that short of time costs near $80-$100. I ordered this rod on Sunday morning and it’s about to arrive at my house today on Wednesday. That’s seriously incredible. If you’re on the fence about getting one, just know that this rod is genuinely the nicest rod in this price range, in the whole world. I’ve built rods before and the fact that this rod is only $250 ($200 when they first came out with $50 shipping fee) doesn’t add up to me. They should be losing money by charging so little for these rods! I’m sure there is more positives that I could add but I’m drawing a blank at the moment lol This rod is all pros, and zero cons! Thanks leviathan for making such an amazing rod at such a dirt cheap price.
Been loving the rod throwing big soft swimbaits for pike on lake Champlain soo much fun
Really great Rod probably the best on the market for the price what I don’t like is the bait keeper and the cork on the bottom wasn’t lined up that evenly
First off - most secure packaging out of any rod I’ve ever built. The rod itself is priced way below the weight it punches at. Incredible, simple and effective. 15/10
Great rod so far
Its a great rod and it came packaged great
love the rod its amazing
Excellent quality rod. Casts smooth with my 2oz metro glide!
Amazing rod
Awesome rod
I like how the rod look. And wait to put it to the test.
Very parabolic rod , very beautiful love that they offer such a good rod at this price
Best softbait rod for the money
Amazing rod very well built great for the price
👍
Built very nice im happy with my purchase cant wait to fish them
I feel every single glide of my lure down the rod blank. Its so sensitive and its very parobolic so it loads up any 1-3 oz lures perfeclty. Can still throw 4 oz but feels a little bit heavy.
Perfect, the rod is balanced and light, if you are looking for a swimbait rod without breaking the bank, this is the one.
Best rod company out there
Can’t wait to use this rod this spring
Great product and company
I love everything about this product best money i ever spent
