****Update**** Buy it HERE CHEAP!: amzn.to/3myszcf I've caught SO MANY 4 lb and up Smallies on this rod/reel since I made this review video. I HIGHLY recommend it! Link to purchase it is in the description. I even bought another one after I dropped my free one in the lake.

The butt cap is removal so that you can remove the individual telescopic rod sections for disassembly, repairs, or cleaning. All the pieces come out the back for removal. You cant store anything in there because the handle is not hollow when the rod is fully collapsed.

Thanks, Larry. I agree...both products I've tried out seem to be really well built. I don't get to use the net enough to really test the durability but I will be running this rod/reel through the ringer. If it fails on me early I'll be letting everyone know but I doubt that it will happen.

Those collapsible rods are awesome. In my most recent video I caught 8 out of the 10 HUGE smallmouth bass on them. I’m a believer now. If they can hold up to 4.5 lb smallmouth bass for that price, you can’t beat it.

The screw cap on the bottom is to put extra weight like egg sinkers for if you ever changed to a lighter reel. Instead of the rod being tip heavy the sinker(s) you use would balance the rod. Just put the sinker(s) in a small sandwich bag and stuff them in the handle so that they don't constantly roll/bounce around inside the handle.

That bottom piece possibly is the store cigarettes, joints and what not. Small little storage thing. That's just my silly guess LOL But if you think about it, it might be for putting it on a rod holster. And I have heard some reviews that that part that you're holding at the bottom fiberglass and a customer or a purchaser said it broke on him. I got me one too. It is pretty nice but I don't know if I put my fishing line on correctly but I still got it on. I watched someone tie it on there first and then reeled it up and then put it on that hook loop. I did it wrong lol 🤣 first time using a reel like that and it's been since I was a kid since I fished. I'm 41 but hey if I have to I'll put some new stuff on it
