One of my dad's friends used to make custom fishing rods. He often bemoaned the poor quality of current off the shelf rods, saying that companies that used to be top notch were no longer any good. I won't name names... But, remember that your reputation is everything to the longevity of a company. Once you destroy your reputation for quality, it is really hard to repair that. This made me pretty picky about what I was going to buy. He said most of the rods these days were made in China and were not to the same standards they had been when they were American made - no surprise there I'm afraid... I have no idea where this rod was made. It could be Chinese, too, but the design is American at least. Anyway, I'm very satisfied with this rod so far. It's stiffer than my last rod, but that's not a problem. The rod flexes well and I'm not worried it will affect anything. Caught 4 fish with it the other day - no problems, other than they were really small fish! I got the 4 piece travel model in 7 ft. medium, spinning. I've used it this week a fair bit and it performs well, though I had to really press the sections together hard to make sure it didn't move or come loose. That's to be expected in a multi-part rod. There are a couple of nice things about this rod. Obviously, it breaks down for travel really well. Also, one of the sore spots on rods is if the eyes are out of alignment - this is very easy to get right with a rod like this. You have to do the aligning, but you probably won't get a rod that has the eyes off center in a rod like this. It's also a lot less likely to get broken in shipping. Also, the shipping packaging was superb. Unless somebody dropped something really heavy on this, it should protect it well. Nice hard and heavy shipping tube that came in a box. My only suggestion for improvement would be to use larger eyes on the rear of the rod. I feel smaller eyes on a spinning rod near the reel impede cast distance due to extra friction. But, I get decent distance with it using a Rapala swivel shad rap. Fishing for trout and redfish. Overall, I can't imagine getting a better quality rod at this price point or quite a bit higher. YMMV, but it looks like solid and good quality to me. I got a Garcia spinning reel to match it and they are both black and red color scheme. My niece walked off with my last rod.... Need to rectify that problem... I wasn't planning that, but it just happens to match - bonus. Best of luck! One thing about carbon fiber - be very careful not to scratch the carbon fiber on the rod. If you score carbon fiber, it is much more prone to breakage. If you don't believe me, look up, "carbon fiber arrows and exploding." Not for the faint of heart... I shoot aluminum, thank you! If you don't beat up the rod, it should last for a LONG time. To the company - good job! It's rare I buy a product that is better than expected, but this is! Please do not let the quality drop in the future... It matters. Review: Pole - Rod seems to be good quality. ## Features - Brute Tuff Composite Glass/ Carbon Fiber Fishing Rods– It’s a Brute!

Which one is less stiff?** A: Its a matter of where the rod is stiff, not how much. A fast rod bends more towards the tip, the rest is stiffer. A moderate the whole rod bends. **Q: This rod says it’s good for braid, is this statement true or does it cut through the eyelets?** A: I’ve had braid on two for several years and no problem. **Q: does the 5' 2 pcs rod suitable for jigging for kingfish and the link?** A: Hi Mohammed, The Lure weight for the 5' Brutus is 1/32-1/4. As long as you stay within the weight you should not have a problem with the rod performance for jigging. **Q: Will 8' medium heavy rod fit my penn battle ii 8000 & daiwa bg saltwater 8000 spinning reels?** A: Yes The reel will fit on the rod. I have a Penn and I assume the Diawa will also ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice rod! *by M***S on April 29, 2020* I've been fishing a long time at this point in my life.

It is a little over-sized for the Kastking Megatron 4000 which I ordered to pair with it. Probably should have contacted Kastking for advice on pairings as they advertise this as part of their customer service. I haven't fished it yet but I don't anticipate any issues with the rods performance as it appears plenty strong with overall good construction. I have deducted one star for the following reasons. (1) There is a moderate indention (crease) of about 1 inch travelling perpendicular around the EVA handle about half way between the bottom end of the handle and the reel seat. This is a quality control issue which could have occurred at either the manufacturer or the vendor and not during shipping as the rod was encased in a nice tube and boxed with no damage to any part of the packaging. It does not appear it will affect the performance of the rod. Had I been purchasing this at a retail store and had the choice of another rod without this blemish I surely would have selected it over this one. (2) The strike tip which is a dark green is barely discernable from the black rod. Again this is not a performance issue but the strike tip on my rod isn't near as bright as the one in the Amazon photo. These are quite minor issues and I am happy with the purchase but unfortunately they made the difference between a 4 and 5 star rating. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/162166032-kastking-brutus-spinning-rods-and-casting-fishing-rods-brute-tuff](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/162166032-kastking-brutus-spinning-rods-and-casting-fishing-rods-brute-tuff) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
