Jimmy, I got the same loose rod a week ago and I asked the seller, they told me I should rotate/screw the rod after install to attach each piece tighter, and it worked for me, hope it helps you too.
I finally received the L power Centron rod. I haven't fished it yet so I don't know if the sections will come apart or twist. But I did whip the rod around at home and it does stay together. The tip section is the most suspect and looks like it might fall out. I feel the paint and the clear coat gets in the way of the sections fitting tight. So KK shouldn't have painted this rod IMO. The balance point is 3/4" right in front of the reel. The tip section of the Centron L rod is similar to the Max Steel L tip which as you know is more like an UL tip. With a one hand cast I can make 3/4 of the rod bend. I was hoping the light rod would have more backbone. KK can't seem to get the light power right. They need better people to develop and test their rods and reels before release. So far all of my KK rods' power and action has left me with disappointment. And that's my initial unboxing impression.
I wonder if the UL one are the only ones with the problem. I wouldn't shove down the rods too deep. Tried it and did a few casts and it cracked. Video to come
@@rawrfishing I was planning to use the Centron rod to fish weedless ned rigs. Looks like I'll have to buy a real L power rod. Look forward to the video 😂. Might try using some masking tape to make the joints fit more snug
Hi Jimmy! I was thinking to buy this rod, but after your video i changed my mind! I have a travel rod Kyorim K1 - 10lbs 1.87m, Its a wonderful rod. 4 piece rod, 2 tips, one with hollow carbon and one with solid carbon, came with a pvc tube to carry and the guides are Fuji. I highly recommend you try it out, i think you will like it for a light fishing
Glad I was able to save ya a few bucks as this rod is not even worth my time fishing to be quiet honest. I may do it just to see if it blows up as some folks in south east Asia destroyed theirs already lol. I will look into that rod. Thx for the recommendation
That rod same just came in but haven't used it ..... hopefully it good... Also got the VE2...hope the reel is good because the VE1 more like a BFS heavy not for light
It’s the best time to fish for me, not crowded but my last day out I got snaked every single time I found the fish. I couldn’t make a cast without being cast over only 6 others at the pond which is great but all six of them followed me and forced me to leave it when people just won’t do the work them selves
Is this any better if purchased straight from KastKing, avoiding Amazon and Alliexpress? I prefer knowing ìt is a genuine item. Those loose ferrules are a deal breaker. I had a nice 9 foot fly rod crack the ferrule because of a slide out doing a long cast.
I don't know if KK sells this in the US. This was from their store on Aliexpress, but was taken down after many others saying theirs broke. I haven't looked on their page for some time now. But I would avoid this rod.

I ordered the light power Centron rod. But it's still in transit. That's very disappointing to have an unusable rod that doesn't stay together out of the box. When I receive my rod in a week, I'll report back if my rod has the same problem.
Might just glue mine together. But I am curious about the L rod. The max steel UL L twin tip rod was more like super UL and UL.. So let me know how that one is.
@@rawrfishing There are videos of international youtubers snakehead fishing with frogs. They aren't showing problems with the joints however they have the spinning model. But their hookset is so hard it breaks the rod at the second joint. 😂 Others have landed some good size snakeheads
@@rawrfishing Absolutely, I'll check the power and action of the L power Centron rod once I receive it. Every KK rod I own the power and action is off not what it was rated. The regular bass rods are unbalanced so they feel very heavy in hand and difficult to cast.
That's odd... I should have mentioned it within the video. But don't think I recommend this rod. There are issues with the rod that Many folks are experiencing. Many of them breaking too
Looks tacky and cheap. Probably my favourite rod from kastking is the max steel. That rod has performed so well here in Australian conditions. I might try this one. Might
yeah.. price should be cheaper as there are plenty of cheaper ali rods that would be more reliable than this. don't try until I blessed it with my crayons!
@@rawrfishing I'll wait for further reviews for sure... another rod that surprised me is the acehawk CU double, that thing feels so nice to fish with. But my go-to is definitely the max steel.
@@rawrfishing hmmmm, add some layers with super glue on male join only for make the diameter larger, sanding with sand papper if the diameter is too large, not gluing your travel rod into one piece 🤣
@@rawrfishing that's why I enjoy seeing your videos because you tell the truth if a rod is good or not this rod look nice out I didn't like that when you put it together it's is very loss and it just fly off as you Cast it I would have been nice if it has a more tight snug fit
hehe.. KastKing just made it clear to one of my sponsors that they also work with that they no longer want me working and promoting their brand. It's a shame that they do not permit honest reviews.
@@rawrfishing I agree with you my and I support your TH-cam channel I enjoy seeing your fishing products I enjoy fishing for fun and to have a great time I always loved fishing since I was a kid going fishing with my dad my friend sometimes sponsors aren't honest before sending a product or fishing gear it's not right sponsors should just be honest it's not your fault
loose shaky joints on multi piece travel rods are just a failure and disaster waiting to happen .... while youre out on vacation fishing with it..... Kastking better have the factory check on QC
Hi and Blessings Jimmy, I sprayed two thin coats of clear acrylic and put wax on the ferrules and is a lot better fit!!! 🎣
That's a nice trick! Thx for sharing
Jimmy, I got the same loose rod a week ago and I asked the seller, they told me I should rotate/screw the rod after install to attach each piece tighter, and it worked for me, hope it helps you too.
Thx, but that only made it Crack after catching a few fish. Review to come
@@rawrfishing wow, I probably should return it anyway than. thx

Love it, I have a centron 500 spinning reel and love it
is yours like mine where it is loose between each rod piece?
That crayon trick is actually amazing
Thx mate
You have pretty fingers bro. I’m serious. 👍 Thanks for the close up detail reviews.
Lol... I got dry hands usually... Likely just bathed the kiddo and lotioned him up as the winter is coming and it's dry heat at the house
@@rawrfishing I feel you bro. Having kids and chores around the house plus outdoor life style, my hands are always crusty 🥹
My bfs combo is my favourite I only use it in the winter

Pieces getting off is a common problem in every multi-piece rods, Fly or BFS. But the connection over the fore grip is too much loose.
I own only a few fly rods, but several multi piece rods. Never had one this loose.

Please make reviewed about latest kasking product sir , kastking kasnake rod
I passed on it. Doing Tsurinoya instead
Here's the first vid when snakehead season was over. Will use it again this season th-cam.com/video/NqltY1RH26g/w-d-xo.html
Does KK have a US version???
Let's hope not. I don't wanna pay a 70 dollars for a PoS low quality product
Where did you get rod from??
That's odd... I should have mentioned it within the video. But don't think I recommend this rod. There are issues with the rod that Many folks are experiencing. Many of them breaking too
Hi Jimmy ! 👋 you should try the Seekbass ZCS 1-7g rod… great product 👍😉
Thx for the recommendation my man!
Anyone purchased this straight from KastKing, and have the loose ferrules?
Per Facebook posts... Yes... And some exploding during Hookset
Hope mine will not be that loose otherwise I will send this blender back. Thanks for ýour review.
Let's cross our fingers. But some folks here said glue it into one piece!
@@rawrfishing Thanks saw a review from Indonesia don't make a hard hookset it seems to snap easily. I'm not sure if I will send it back immediately.
Well, the ferrules aren't over braked.
Not possible

has not broken on me there blackhawk telescopic is rubbish my rod is tight as a man arse thats about to get a prostate exam lol
Neat!
Only neat thing right now... The colors 😂
@@rawrfishing yeah. I saw the full review. If inote loose connections will send it back to kastking
Add some layers with super glue
Likely I will as I wont be sending it back. Cost to send back is too much. But it's a shame... No longer a travel rod

Get out the rubber cement and make it a 1 or 2 piece
sad to say... might have to if i can't keep it as a multi piece rod
loose shaky joints on multi piece travel rods are just a failure and disaster waiting to happen .... while youre out on vacation fishing with it..... Kastking better have the factory check on QC
Ding ding ding! At this price... I can get other aliexpress rods at better quality
damn my capaci rod is better.. but it is 7ft.. what a bummer..
this is surely a flop rod on their end.
Out of stock
Good... It's a bad rod
Looks nasty and cheap. Shame, as I like most of the Kastking gear
Sigh.... Tell me about it
@@rawrfishing I saw another vid, he waggled it and it was fine. Shame their not using the spigot and ferrol, they last forever
Don't buy it, soooooo poor, this rod soooo fragile, section 3 was the problem of them all, so sad kastking let this thing go to the market 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
That's pretty much my hidden message at the end! Did urs break? Or is it loose like mine flying off?
@@rawrfishing is it break and loose, and it is horrible rod kastking ever, i would like kk noticed and replace this bad rod or refund the money
