SHIMANO Solora 2 Piece Spinning Rod

I've taken my Shimano Solora out a few times with a shimano spinning reel. It's worked perfect but after being thrown into the back of my car a few times one of the guides are bent out. For the price i think if one was to take care of it very well it would be able to be used long term. However, don't expect to use this rod for years and years. It is exactly as you paid for.I still give it 4 stars because it is an excellent price and if very very carefully maintained should last for a few seasons.

Ordered in middle of Aug, but received on Sep. 7th. Slow ship and deliveryThe rod itself is not in good quality. From the picture, I can clearly see the third eye is not in a line of other eyes which will impact my cast

This rod has held up for me going on two and half years. Caught some 16 inch bass with no problems. I really like the sensitivity and cork handle. I paired it with a Shimano 2500 reel.

Excellent, well made rod for the price. Remember when fishing was affordable!

I purchased two 6'6" Solara spinning rods, one medium and one medium heavy. My wife uses the medium and so far she has caught more flounder and larger flounder in the light surf and inlets than I have. This is proof positive that the fast action tip and the feel of this rod is as advertised, told her one time how to cast and she has perfected that (using a Shimano Rapid Fire 4000 reel) and told her how to "feel" a flounder hitting her red-headed jig with 4" white curly tail body and she gets it. This is a woman that had never salt water fished in her life. I look at the high dollar rods advertised for over $100 each and many over $200 and then think about these two rods at $14 each delivered and wonder, "can those rods be that much better or lighter?" Proof is in the ability to catch a fish and enjoy "catching" as well as "fishing". Our 8 yr old grandson uses a 6' FX Shimano and is even more skilled than his grandmother. These rods are value purchases and I recommend them to any and all fishermen regardless of experience or age.

I purchased this rod to setup for sheepshead fishing in the gulf, while having the option for freshwater crappie fishing if I prefer. I trust the Shimano brand, and this rod does not disappoint. Great addition to the rod locker, a must buy.

I have been using Shimano fishing rods and reels for almost 60 years. They are the BEST. I bought this one for one of my grandsons and HE LOVES IT.

This rod is unbelievably great. I love the color and the cork handle is so comfortable to fish with. I love the action and it feels high end for the price! I use it for bass fishing and saltwater fishing. This rod is sensitive and has a nice backbone for reeling in those fish!!! Buy it you won’t be disappointed

Got this Shimano Solora rod to fit my Pflueger Trion reel. Works like a charm. Caught a large 20lbs carp without any breakage. This rod claims to be of medium flexibility, which I concur it is. Not to flexible but enough to feel the nib of small panfish.

You can't beat it for the price! I bought my husband a much more expensive rod and this one for myself, and after a month of use, he has decided that he prefers my inexpensive rod, so we are ordering another one and the pricey rod will now become our spare. :)

Seems like a good product, time will tell. It arrived in a timely fashion, but we all know that slow deliveries rarely has anything to do with the vendor and everything to do with the carrier.

Great rod.. Lots of ultra light action and excellent for walleye if you like to fight them rather than just hauling them in for food.

Good stiff rod....but I couldn't really feel it up to the tip.....not so sensitive.
