Berkley Lightning

Yeah guys, that's my opinion on the Berkeley Lightning Rod. Uh, let me know if you guys like these reviews and if let me know in the comments what you...

If you're just starting out and you're looking for a rod that's not gonna break the bank, I definitely recommend the Berkeley Lightning Rod Bait Casti...

Try a Pflugger President reel with a medium light Berkley Lightning Rod. Probably 7’ or next size smaller. For the price a great combo with super feel and action. My go to jig stick for early walleye...

I bought this rod 6 months ago and love it to pieces! it's a solid rod with good sensitivity. Amazing deal for the price! Only problem is the rubber eyes that you thread the line through fell off on the tip and grinds my line during cast and retrieve, and yesterday went to cast on braid because I as...

Berkley Lightning Rod is a great entry level rod. From my experience I have found them lighter, more sensitive, and more aesthetically pleasing than the often recommended Ugly Stik.

The upper section of my Berkley Lightning Rod, model BSLR662M, broke today during a cast with a ¼ oz. lure. The rod broke 16.25” above the ferrule on a normal cast. I have been using this rod for the past month without any problem. Until now. In fact this rod was a replacement for the identical mode...

I own some great high end gear, but these old Berkley Lightning Rod Shocks have landed alot of fish for me over the years. They're not the most sensitive things in the world, but they're a fantastic reaction bait rod. Berkley stopped making them, so when I find them I but them. IMO, it was a huge mistake replacing these with the clear handle plastic things.

I have 2 Lightning Rods I bought back in the 90's which are great rods and I use yet today! I needed a new fishing rod for my wife so naturally I went with the tried and true Lightning Rod. While fishing up north it snapped in half. Thinking it was a fluke since the older ones I have have lasted so ...

Horrible sensitivity, no backbone, and they are super heavy. That combo just isn’t going to do what you want it to do. If you can manage it, I would get a second combo for bass. For like $70 you could set up a Shimano Sienna FG combo or a 2000-2500 Sienna on a Berkley Lightning Rod or Daiwa Aird-X.

This was my first Berkley rod, I've heard good things about it so I thought I'd give it a try. The first day I went fishing was pretty good, it was very sensitive and launched lures like a rocket, so I had a good feeling about it. I got snagged up on a tree and, applying little pressure, the rod sna...
