Great review! There are not many reviews out there on this one. You are absolutely right about the quality and value on this rod. I can attest to this is a great rod for panfish in the States. Great casting ability and superb bite detection on the tubular tip, My model is the bait casting version.
I own the 632 UL model myself a great rod for UL cheb and texas rigs, has hidden power lower down its blank. Has landed Perch to almost 4lb and pike to 17lb.
This is not a Dragon or SG2 either review.. Can't comment on any of those as don't have those. What I do know, that Tsu rods that I have are fine; a bunch of my customers used one of the Clever whilst guiding for trout - yet to destroy because it's a "weak rod".
I used the Dexterity version 1 (spin) for a while. I personally enjoyed using it very much. After about 2-3 seasons, the carbon fibers at the tip atarted degrading and breaking. which made the tip part unusable. After switching to Tsurinoya Elf UL rod, which I used for only 2 fishing trips, the rod just snapped ner the reel seat... I had it on cam th-cam.com/video/uQrM8Uiafus/w-d-xo.html (see minute 2:25). Neither AliExpress nor Tsurinoya took responsibility. Never goin to buy a Tsurinoya rod again...
Thanks for sharing! Obviously the rod as per video has been damaged/faulty as it's not easy to break any rod at that point. I don't own 100s of Tsu rods but have a few and no issues; my clients use my Tsu rods whilst fishing in streams for trout - 0 problems so far.

Yes, agree. It has a good action for small and big fish alike.
I've got the spinning version of this rod. Really think it's top quality and looks nice aswell. Good review 👍🏻
Thanks!
I had the dragon spinning rod and tip snapped its a very weak rod i had a sg2 micro game and that rod took a beating and is still going to this day

If you compare this rod to Kuying ul rod you got. Which one do you prefer? Besides that they are both very good. Thanks
I don't have/know a Kuying that is similar to this (leght and powerwise). Thanks
