Yes it is. The South Bend 77 fishing pole has some great reviews and has a strong shaft which is durable for those strong catches that want to get away!
See i never used a south bend 77 fishing pole but its always clever using it at least once to make your grandpa feel you respect him see actually it doesn't matter at first if its good or not as its given to you as sort of a gift it was an honest answer that's all.
