i was in Walmart about 6 months ago and i walk to the fishing department to check out some rods. and ofcourse the cool looking yellow skeet reese rods caught my eye. so i picked it up and was looking at it and bent the tip to see how sensitive it was. and then SNAP!, it broke!!! so i carefully put the rod back and walked away... i was wondering if any of yall liked the skeet reese rods? or had any problems with them.

Grabbing a rod at the tip and bending it is not how ya check a rod for anything anyway.

well im sure you have stumbled across some rods you though looked cool and tested them out to make sure they are good and wont break on the first cast. its like buying a car without test driving it.

I've been using Skeet's drop shot rod for about 5 years now with no problems.. Its put fish up to 8 lbs in the boat without breaking.. YMMV

Personally I think skeet's rods are ugly, and all I had to do is pick one up and could tell they are junk. But anyway, next time you want to feel a rod, grab it at the reel seat just like you would hold it fishing. With your hand about hip high place the rod tip on the floor and push down easy to feel and see the flex of the rod. If ya want to really learn rods always do it with a rod in each hand at the same time.

I had one and I loved it. Yes it broke - when I caught my worm on the console of my boat.
