well recieved my order today of 2 acadia rods, I went with 2 F series bait casting 6'6" 2pc med/hevavy, should get my order tommorow or fri. from bass pro of my new reels to go along with these. overall inspection looks pretty good, very thin rods, cork handles,for a med/hev feels very light, but sterdy. might have to throw a different reel on tommorow and try it out if dont get my new ones,
Generall rating 1-10 (1bad-10good)
overall apperence just looking through package- 10
shipping time- 10+
customer service(called in order)- 10+ super nice people
my expected performance- 6-7 looks very thin to handle a nice 4-8lb fish, pole line rate 10-20, lure 3/8-1oz.(hopefully this is something I am proved very wrong once I actually try it.)
will post new ratings after I try em out..

LOL Joe was gonna say same thing, that graphite is a lot lighter than glass but strong as all get out
Little light rod like that will handle some big fish with no problem at all, an can't beat
the fact that you can feel every little nibble an touch on them
let us know Jason, I think you will be real happy, know I love the ones I have, saving
my pennies to get some more

sorry for delay in written but been really busy to make it out fishn, went out this evenain for about and hr and made some casts. well I gatta say the poles are nice. hooked a few little piddlers nothing over 2lbs, I was totaly impressed by the feel and sturdyness of these poles, I really like these and will be getting some spinning poles soon. I am giving these poles a 10 across the board. I can not wait to get out and hook a nice one and bringem in. fro the price at 40 fro 2 poles thats great, got a great sponsor here schoe, please forward this on to them at acadia.

They are outstanding rods, an you really can't go wrong since they carry lifetime warranty
Price is bout impossible to beat too
(not to mention you would be buying "local" , Acadia is in Irving, Tx :icon_biggrin:)
If you decide to get some let us all know how they work for the fishing you are doing with them
I been using mine for everything from bluegill to throwing jigs an walking
rigs for walleye an bottom fishing for cats

Well I have now had these wonderfull rods almost a yr now, I love them. These baitcaster are used for only catfishing since thats about all I do exept for panfish!!!!
These rods have held up to the test of fishing!! very pleased with the performance and outcome of these rods!!! flawless!!!! Great job acadia, I have since purchased other items from the company and there service is excellent!!!!!
Acadia is highly reccomended in my books as a go to place for all you fishing gear, Rods,reels, and also have seen them grow to offer crankbaits, tackle bags, and rod selections growing!!!
