Cotter Trout Dock (that's me) did NOT "say" ANY of this!!! First of all, fishing is hardly ever slow for more than a few hours around here and is never VERY slow! We do not fish by the dam very often. We are located 18 miles below the dam at Cotter and I have never fished for stripers in my life. I also know how to spell bite :) QUOTE: "Cotter Trout Dock said fishing is very slow. The best time to try to get a bit is early morning or just after dark. Fishing during the first hour of generation may produce a bite. Fishing for stripers by the dam is recommended."

So far I have only used it on one river salmon fishing trip in Washington. For an under $20 rod it worked well for me, landing a 10 pound silver salmon. I don't think anyone should expect a high quality rod for this price range, but for the money, I would consider this a good backup travel rod and worth purchasing. Treat it gentle, I don't think they are made for abuse and you may find it a worthwhile rod to have for traveling. I wish the seller had a lighter weight model. I have a lighter telescopic rod from Germany that is better made, but cost four times as much. If I were traveling to a remote destination, and didn't want to carry my customized travel rods, I would consider buying two or three so I would have a backup. If they were not needed, I'd probably make a local fisherman very happy gifting the backups to him. I bought the 7 foot spinning rod to test for travel. So far I have only used it on one

Maybe fly fishing in Nebraska or North Carolina would be a good choice instead. Picking a good spot for stream fishing is my main certain. I hear they have clean water with plenty of fish.
