I've used it about 6.7 times. It's still usable. A must-have for lure anglers! Lightweight and compact aluminum construction, but the pole is long from the joints to the butt cap, so it can be firmly inserted into the sand for excellent stability! When not in use: Due to its lightweight design, you won't feel the weight even when attached to a floating vest. Length: Adjustable from 42 to 65 cm, weight is an amazing 92g belmont S.
