Any one have anything good, bad, or ugly to say about these rods!? I got the 12' casting rod. After receiving it I'm not sure what to make of it.

Solid rod if you take care of it. I have multiple prevails and never had one fail.

 

[Solesolace]

Be curious to see what people think as well. I was thinking of picking one up in the 10 ft range for surf fishing.

My buddy has one and loves it

Have caught many sharks, rays and drum on the 12fts. Used 10ft to jig up spanish, blues, pompano. Two 8ft for bottom fishing, hung an 6 pound black drum with one.
Also use them for anchor rods.
They can take lots of abuse.
Just watch the guides like any cheaper rod.

Not great, but for $75, I cautiously recommend it (if that's your budget, get it....willing to pay 100+? many better options).

Rods under $200 are pretty much the same.

I have an 11' prevail and love it picked up a 12' heavy at a local fishing fled market for 5.00 it had a missing insert but the guy had it. Took 5 min to fix. Rated 4-10 oz practiced with 4oz barely bent the rod

Have used a 10' for a few years and it's been a functional rod. Then the addiction set in and I'm looking to upgrade.

A W E S O M E poles for the price.
I have had the 11 and 12" for 2 years now.
very satisfied all the way around.
so far, no corrosion or epoxy letting go.

Walmart carries that 10 footer for about 70 bucks...I just looked at it yesterday and was thinking how pretty it was, but I'm not a fan of those long 2 piece rods.

 

[ThresherFishing]

I had a 9ft spinning and 12ft casting and I concur with the sentiment in this thread that they're pretty good for a cheap rod.

 

[jerkjigger]

For the money, I think they are better than a Tica. Especially as far as the guides go.

 

[Razor1138]

I have the 12' with a battle 8000 on it, no issues yet. Pulled in some sharks with it. Had it for 3 seasons now, take care of it like anything else and it will last.

 

[QBALL]

i have one and i love mine. i got it last year and it pulled in everything from white perch, stripers, and large catfish. i think it is a nice dependable rod.

I got the 12' casting and after doing some practice casting in the river I have determined that it is a pretty good rod for the $63 I gave for it. If I would have to pay full price for another one I would go ahead and buy another mojo. There is no comparison. At least with the money I saved I was able to buy another nice reel!!

Have 2 - 11' prevails. Work great, pulled in 6' sharks with ease. Saw offshore angler has a new surf rod called breakwater, Fuji guides and reel seat. Same price range, worth taking a look.

IMHO the prevail is not as good a buy as a $60 Ugly stick.

Funny this thread came up..

Matched it with a PENN Pursuit II 5000 reel....
Good Choice? yea or nay..
