What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The stated 2.1-pound item weight is substantially different from the feature copy's rod-only weight claim of about 4.2 ounces, making carry weight unclear. Listing details are inconsistent: the model token says “1.8T” while the size field says “1.8M” and the rod length is listed as 5.9 feet. The details list weight as 2.1 pounds, but feature copy describes the rod alone as about 4.2 oz. Reel ratio appears as “5.8” in details and 5.8:1 in feature copy. Confirm the selected listing's exact size, weight and reel configuration before purchase. The listed maximum drag and line capacity are manufacturer claims, not independent performance measurements.
