My initial impression on the Major Craft SOLPARA SPXT-76Ltelescopic spinning rod - Spoiler Alert ! OH NO!
* Not high end and feel cheap, for the record I only paid 80 bucks for it but this is exactly what i was expecting
* Pretty light
* Only two guides are glued/attached to the rod Tip and middle one. There are 7 guides total and 5 of them slide up and down the telescopic parts of the rods.
* the rod come with nice packaging including the typical major craft suitcase and plastic tip cover.
* Not very small once collapsed it's about 26 inches ...

Then the tip BROKE ?!?!?!?! Not sure what happened during unboxing since I was very careful inspecting everything. I only extended it and collapsed it a few times being very gentle ...
