Please, dont waste your money on useless rubbish and think again. Even wait a bit longer and save up to something decent. Sorry for the bad news but I think bad news are way better than bad advice. Check out the Shakespeare Salt range, you might find them a bit dearer but perfect for beginners and even more advanced anglers alike. This rod you've mentioned will only lead to disappointment. Believe me... t-shirt etc... plenty of these rods have found a new lease of life as perfect sticks for runner beans in my garden. :)
