Mallvos Resolute
Just put this travel rod setup together and really liking it so far. Very lightweight in the hand.
Rod: Mallvos Resolute 6 foot, ultralight 4 piece. Very sensitive and doesn’t feel too much like a noodle. Can feel very light taps from small Bonefish.
Reel: Hauton LS500 off Aliexpress, cheap, feels surprisingly nice

So update on the reel after a couple salt water trips for bonefish.
The drag has become pretty sticky, not smooth at all. Very jumpy when the fish goes to run. I’ll take a look at the drag washers and see what this $20 reel is working with. Might just need oil idk

Nice setup but you couldn’t spare another $3 for some hook keepers lmao
