DanKung staff, Davis, assured me that unlike my AliExpress modified MingYang reel that came with a lot of deep scratches (the Ali vendor expects their customers to accept this and even charges a higher price), their modified MingYang reels would NOT come with scratches. Based on that I ordered a red one. DanKung was true to their word—the reel came without scratches and works well! I paired it with their Glassfin rod.
Nice rod with more backbone than the softer glass rods (Lemoren & Aioushi) offered on AliEx. Finishing is not bad except for some yellowing in the first joint—think it's the epoxy. But it's internal and not external. I bought this for fishing Peacock Bass (we don't have trout or streams here), and I caught a 2.5 pounder on first use. The cork handle I chose was a different one with three rings. Payed a little more for it. Paired the rod with a red modified MingYang also from DanKung, and I think the setup looks great. Hope to catch lots more with this setup :)
It arrived here after 15 day I ordered. This reel is built like a tank and a little smaller than i expected. Smoother than my modified MingYang from Aliexpress. But not as good as Shimano CQ round reel. anyway the price gap is huge.
Beautiful Glassfin rod and modified MingYang W300L from Dankung.
