I ordered my first Cadence spinning rod in December of 2019 and another one in 2021. I boat captain for High School tournament fishing and these rods have been used heavily over the past few years.

They are both 1 piece 6-6 medium fast action and the kids I boat captain for have caught many bass off these rods. They have worked especially well for finesse style baits like shakey heads, ned rigs and wacky rigs. Also a favorite for fishing floating worms and small topwaters like small poper style baits.

They are lightweight, sensitive, very well balanced and have worked great over the past 4 years. During tournaments we carry many rigs in the rod box but the Cadence rods spend most of their time on the deck. I am going to order another Cadence spinning rod this season, probably a 7" medium fast action (1 piece).

I'm used to St Croix rods, but I bought a small solo canoe last year and have been fishing small, tight rivers/streams. After breaking a couple of 6.6 rods by not paying close enough attention to obstacles I decided to go less expensive and shorter and gave Cadence a try. I ordered the 6 ft, 2 piece light rod. It arrived very well packed in a strong paper tube. And the rod is inserted into round foam inserts at either end off the tube so it's not rattling around inside.

I could not believe how thin and light the rod was. Paired with an old Shimano Stradic 2500 it feels nicely balanced. I took it for a spin shore fishing at a local pond and it seems to cast well enough; distance on par with my St. Croix rods. I haven't given it a serious workout yet, but the craftmanship appears to be sound. My only concern is the reel seat. The locking ring assembly feels fragile compared to my other rods. I'll be exercising extra care there, snugging it down very lightly and checking frequently to keep it snug.

All in all, seems to be a very good deal and unless sustained use exposes issues with craftsmanship, I'll be buying more Cadence rods in the future. I do wish the light 2 piece had a fast action option.

Great fishing rod. Has really nice action to it and very sensitive to bites. Reel seat seems lacking in quality but time will tell.

Please, if you're on the fence about purchasing a fishing rod, look no further.

I would consider myself an amateur when it comes to getting back into fishing again. I was in the market for the best spinning rod I could get while keeping a budget of around $100 to build a nice summer bass fishing spinning combo.

I liked that this rod was cork, and looked very nice in the product images. I read through many reviews and all were amazed by this fishing rod. I've never heard of the brand before but I couldn't resist ordering one for only $60 bucks!

Came VERY well packaged in a typical cylindrical tube. No damages or scratches on the graphite or cork.

I ordered the 7 foot 2 piece medium spinning rod. Paired it with a white kastking crixus reel and 35 pound yellow braid on a 8 foot 15lb fluorocarbon leader.

So here's the deal : I was totally lost for words casting with this fishing rod. Casts incredibly smooth! Has the perfect amount of backbone while having a fast tip. The sensitivity of this fishing rod is unbelievable.

The smallmouth bass fishing here on Lake Erie is in its prime and it's not difficult to land 5 pound smallmouths. I fished this rod using a drop shot rig and casted from shore. This is by far the best fishing rod I've ever used for smallmouth fishing. Strong hook set, super durable, incredibly smooth, lightweight, sensitive, and is a blast to reel fish in with!

It beats my KastKing perigee II bass rod all day long. This is my new favorite all around spinning rod!

I've fished with my friends LEWS spinning combo he paid $350 dollars for and it doesn't even compare to this spinning rod.

Cadence has my respects in terms of fishing rods. Unbelievable quality at a fantastic price!

If you didn't order this spinning rod already, you're wasting time!

CR5 2 piece 6' 6" mf paired with CS8 spinning reel. I use this rod for walleyes, using crawlwer harnesses. Landed many fish with this combo.

The rod broke just below the first guide below the tip while lifting a tiny fish into the boat. I net all fish over 13 or 14 inches, this one was 9 to 10 inches about 1/3 of a pound.

Rod was well out of warranty period. I sent an email to Cadence to find out if they sold the top half of the rod. If they did it would be less expensive than a complete rod. Unfortunately
they don't sell the top half, but to my surprise they offered to send me a free replacement rod.

It arrived three days after their email.

I have two CR5 rods, like both of them. My CS8 spinning reel works great, smooth with a great drag.

It appears Cadence actually cares about their customers, a rare occurrence in these times.
I will be purchasing more equipment from them in the future.

Thank you Cadence, your support is appreciated.
