BASS Fishing with the HANDING M1 Casting Rod [Rod Review]

In this video I am taking a look at another product from HANDING, a small fishing tackle company that, operates an online store. They sent me the one piece model of the M1 casting rod. At full price, this rod comes in at around $120. I conduct a review of the rod and discuss its key features. Then I decide to put the rod to the test for a day out on the water. The first few signs of spring are making their presence known, with more daylight and a string of warmer days. I was pleased that with the right line and reel, I was able to comfortably cast lures through the full recommended lure weight range of the rod, which goes down to just 1/8 oz. This is quite light for a medium-rated rod. Overall, my impression of the M1 was largely positive. Its action is around what I would expect for a fast, and its lightweight and comfortable to fish with all day.
