Featuring carbon graphite blanks with responsive, fast action, the Majestic BFS rods are suitable for finesse and “power finesse” fishing and are perfect for targeting freshwater bass species and sea bass.

Equipped with a comfortable split grip configuration that combines cork and EVA foam for an ergonomic feel, durable O-Ring guides, and a Shimano reel seat, the Majestic offers the sensitivity and balance expected from an industry-leading brand. The included cloth bag and the hook keeper are additional comforts that round out the Majestic series. Shimano packs a lot of features into a great budget rod series with the Majestic.

I only just received the 6’8″ model of this rod last week and fished it in my kayak this morning. I like the 2-piece aspect for easy transport, and used a 42″ Plano rod tube to protect it in the car. The instructions were in Chinese, but it’s a fishing rod — I think I’ll cope 🙂 The action worked well for me casting 6-7g Ned rigs and 1/8 oz lures. Nice finish, too. The only other ding I can think of is that it doesn’t appear to use Fuji components. Caught a nice big bucketmouth on it this morning which really tested the drag on my Zephyr BFS reel.

This rod is awesome! Small jigs, ned rigs, guide baits, I love it. I have the 6’4 and paired with a 1/16 Jackson jig and a TRD craw cut in half. I feel unstable! Landed many 6lb fish in high preasued water. Great rod quality, great customer service. This rod is a blast!

This rod is Great for my style of fishing, this is not an Ultralight rod. I’m throwing 1/8-1/4 oz chatterbaits, 1/8-1/4 oz spinnerbaits’ and 1/8-1/4 oz finesse jigs… I use soft plastic trailers on all my lures, so the weights increases lightly. I tested this in the backyard with a 1/16 oz Ned rig… and was casting 50ft easily, however it was windy on the lake and 1/16 didn’t work well. I was worried about the reel seat/handle ( no exposed blank) but it is fine (comfortable) with my Doviello Acura HICC-50 (8# co-polymer). this rod is super light, & very sensitive, I could feel the difference between grass, lily pad stems, wood, & rocky bottom or silty bottom. The length of the butt section hits my forearm just right during the fight (that’s a personal thing). I have only landed fish up to 1.5 #’s, but this rod feels stout, and I believe it can easily handle much, much more !! I am 110% satisfied and I highly recommend this one !! I haven’t tried anything with treble hooks yet !! Thanks Bait Finesse Empire & Fish On !!

A great rod for the price. Enjoy it so much I own 3 different versions. like the fast action ones the best. Good for down to the 3G range, definitely more of a “power” BFS rod. Probably would not be good if you plan on casting baits and plugs under the 3G range. Everything is nicely built for the price.

6′-4″ model is everything i was looking for in a bfs rod on a budget.
Throws 1/16 or 1.77g lures no problem even though its rated for 3-15g.
Outstanding grip as any Shimano rod would have in my opinion and balances nicely with my reel.

Very impressed with this rod. I have thrown from a 1/16 to 3/8 oz jigs, Texas rigs to jerkbaits caught crappie , bluegills , largies, huge branches and pike.
I do agree it’s more of a “power “ rod and it seems it’s sweet spot is an 1/8oz
I bought this rod (6’-4”)to be paired up with my shimano slx bfs using 15 lb braid
