VERSA 2-in-1 Rod

This is a great rod, I love the "versatility" of either reel. Thank you for a creative & well thought-out rod!

Brian (from Maxxon) and I went up to Hayward WI for a few days to hunt muskies. One afternoon we decided to go into a small bay to get out of the consistent strong winds. Brian wanted to change the pace and use a Versa with 6lb test to get some perch and this beast decided to take the crappie jig. I was very impressed with how Brian played this brute, but I was even more impressed how the Versa bent more than double sometimes and did not break. This rod is much tougher than it seems! If you want to hear more about this exciting catch, call Brian at Maxxon.

I bought this rod with gray hesitation at the SLC fly fishing expo. I really enjoyed the fly side of it testing it there. Still hasn’t been tested on fly line landing a fish because I’m not that great of a fly fisherman. But I have it paired with a stratic reel and 7lb test. I’ve landed upwards to 20lb cats and carp as well S smaller trout while spin fishing and a 5lb bass since my purchase I believe back in march ir April.

I’m very satisfied with everything this rod has to offer. As it warms up and I hike the Uintas this summer I hope to test it out on some flies and trout up there!

I’m a terrible fly-fisherman but I’m going to use this rod for a spinning reel and an old Johnson Century model 100. Not trying to promote myself but I did a YouTube review of this rod if you actually wanna see it in action.

It’s built “very well”, easy to put together, has a nice little carrying bag and performs great.
I caught several crappie and a small large mouth with ease.
Setting the hook was a dream and distance if cast with 4lb line and a 1/16th oz jig was incredible.
For me, traveling, back packing, biking, motorcycling, with it is going to be great because of it’s 5pc breakdown and being able to use several different styles of reel.
Great job guys, awesome concept that actually works!! Thanks Maxxon!!

Here is a rod which I always wondered why someone would own a rod like this. This year I went trout fishing with a friend. He used a spinning rod and I used my 5wt Stone Fly. After we fished for an hour he has caught a number of fish and I still had to get even one. I decided to walk back to the vehicle and switch my fly rod for a spinning rod. I immediately started getting fish. Now, that does not mean spinning rod and night crawler is better, but that day it was for me. My next trout trip, when fly fishing was tough, I decided to cheat and replaced my nymph with a bait holder hook, split shot and night crawler. That worked but made casting really hard.
That is when the light went on! That Monday I ordered the Versa rod. I could only use it twice before our trout season closed this year but I am really glad I got it. Many of the creeks around here are not very fly-casting friendly. Many stretches are in, around and under trees. That is where I switch the handle and reel and continue fishing, instead of skipping the areas. I even changed it while standing in the creek with water almost to my waist. It is very easy to switch.
If you like fishing with a fly rod and also spinning reel in some places, this is a fantastic option at a great price.
