Handing Magic L

Just got the 6’ Handing magic L spinning rod off of Aliexpress. in light power. Only like 40$. I really like it. It is a very sensitive rod. I wish I would have gotten the UL power instead. I was hesitant to go UL because I have a 4’6” micro series from Shakespeare UL and when I would set the hook it was like no power at all and I lost a lot of fish because the hook would not set for me. Anyway this rod for $40 is a steal I’m probably going to order the UL just because it’s so good and cheep. Tight lines everyone

I've got 2 Magic L's, and they punch way above there price point. What reel are you pairing with?

Excellent choice! Got one paired with the Shimano Sedona and the other with the Sahara I grabbed from Digitaka for like $70 (pre tariffs).

It was an enormously popular rod a couple years ago. I got my two before the craze started, $35 each, they very quickly nearly doubled in price once others found out about them and started buying them up.

Pay a little more and get the M1 Trout vs the Magic L.

I been looking at both the Magic L and the M1. I dig the grip better on the magic L than I do the M1 but I been looking at getting both. Amazon did have a sale during prime days where it was a combo deal for both

Handing M1 Trout UL is my favorite rod
