At first I was skeptical as to whether one with a so inexpensive Angel including a role as this can also reasonably fish. The role, however, was already well equipped with cord and the very nice lightweight rod with pleasant cork grip made a surprisingly strong impression. At the pond I tipped the rod with Pose, hooks and lead and a few maggots and off we went. Eject - ordinary width. The cord was light and perfectly from the roll. The temple was ideal tilt. After several litters and 20 minutes, I had a big bream on a hook. Of course bream offer no good drill, but this struggled honestly. My cat at home very happy about the loot. The re-coiled cord showed no Dehnstellen, loops or slings (horror!), The supplied rod holder is useful. With a slightly thicker cord can certainly sometimes defeat with this rod a carp in the drill. There is no high-tech and Luxusrute role, ok One can expect for this price either. But there is a part with a very reasonable price-performance ratio.
