Kalex XR5 Casting Rod


Kalex XR5 Casting Rod

Got the one I ordered today - ordered 3 more
Saw this seemed to be a mostly hyped generic company that popped up and doesn’t yet seem to have the traction of a kastking.
I was just looking for cheap poles that have relatively short butts and decent feel.
Cursory glance seems to be an exceptional pole at the $19
For those that care it’s 111.1grams and the balance point is between the K and A of KALEX ~17.5" from butt end.
Have not fished yet ordered 3 more will try to get some casts in soon
I have an ungodly amount of fishing poles including (older) Loomis gl2 gl3 imx glx, various st croix.
I do not have any kastking, lew’s speed sticks, 13fishing, ducketts or any of the things that come up in reviews for lower priced decent rods.

I would say anyone on the fence needing a decent pole for low price should try at least getting one of these.
I’m going to use them in Salt for snook, redfish et al on some small baitcasters spooled with 10 and 15lb braid
