Flaws

No significant shortcomings were identified in the operation of the Favorit spinning rods; today they are the best option in terms of price and quality ratio.

It is necessary to carefully select gear, since certain models are designed for certain fishing conditions or fishing styles.

A properly selected spinning rod will demonstrate good catchability and will give the angler real pleasure.

Main models

The design concept of the advertised spinning rods is based on a rare technological development, known only to the company’s employees and which is a trade secret. The people responsible for the shape of the rods and the belonging of the entire model range to various types of fishing are engineers with fifteen years of fishing experience, as well as experience confirmed by diplomas, specialized certificates, and other educational documents. The fundamental advantage of spinning rods of your favorite brand is adaptation to the harsh conditions of reservoirs, lakes, reservoirs and rivers in the vast territory of the regions included in the Russian Federation.

The “Professional” model range includes spinning rods with ringing blanks, a whistling end, and high sensitivity. The prefix “Professional” in the commercial name does not mean that they can only be used by professional fishermen. The rods are equally well suited to home-grown fishermen, trolling experts, and holders of championship titles, titles, and statuses. The manufacturer recommends using them in drop shots, curling, rigs, and other types of fishing. The devices have a wide testing range and are suitable for fishing for fish using any available methods. Between the handle and the main rod there is a convenient holding device for the reel mechanisms.

The second series of models bears the beautiful dreamy name “Blue Bird” or “Blue Bird”. Its purpose is to fish using the micro jig method from the shore or a floating device in open water conditions. Row number 3 – sports fishing rods with the consonant commercial name “Arena”. They are distinguished by a highly sensitive form that provides total control over the process in the morning, evening, and night. Sports fishermen highly value this design feature, thanks to which they can react faster to a bite. Experts advise using the Arena when fishing for representatives of the trout family.

Modifications marked “Extreme” and “Aggressor” are spinning rods for extreme athletes. They are distinguished by their design power, multi-profile test range, and tuning with ideal speed characteristics. Like the vast majority of extreme fishing rods, they are equipped with 10-15 guides, which increase productivity by two, two and a half and even three times. The indicator depends on the skills, experience, and knowledge of the person who organized the fishing trip. Universal and multifunctional fishing rods have a length from 180 to 270 centimeters, but most importantly they comply with international test standards in the ranges of 2/10, 3/15, five to twenty grams.

Series and model range

A whole range of spinning gear is produced under the Favorit brand; some of the most interesting and popular options are discussed in more detail below.

Zander

The Zander series are universal spinning rods with an ultra-fast action, but they are used mainly for jig fishing; their blanks are characterized by increased rigidity and ringing, and the rod tip is a monolithic structure.

All models in the series work equally effectively with light and heavy artificial baits and make it easy to remove caught fish from underwater thickets of vegetation.

The main prey that is caught on the Zander is pike, perch, pike perch; spinning rods are designed for fishing with oscillating spoons, various types of wobblers and small spinners.

Arena

The Arena series includes highly specialized ultra-light class spinning rods for pond trout fishing. They work great with soft artificial baits equipped with additional weight; small spoons and cranks.

The high sensitivity and information content of the forms are designed to record even minor bites; the tackle provides complete control of the bait when retrieving.

The guide rings are arranged in a special way to increase the casting distance, and a well-chosen slow action minimizes the likelihood of prey disappearing when using hooks without a groove.

The series includes the following modifications:

• 602XUL – rod 180 cm long and weighs 80 g, test 0.6-3 g.

Sentinel

Today the manufacturer has two modifications available:

• 762ML – medium-light class rod, length 228 cm, weight 95 g, test 5-21 g.
• 832M – middle class rod, length 251 cm, weight 98 g, test 7-28 g.

Series features

The title of the series speaks for itself. The rods were specially created for extreme fishing. They are able to withstand increased loads that arise when using heavy baits and landing a heavy predator.

Favorite Extreme has a recognizable appearance

The Favorite Extreme line of spinning rods is represented by 7 models. All fishing rods are two-piece plugs. Available in two lengths - 2.10 and 2.40 meters. The lightest “sticks” allow you to fish with baits starting from 5 grams, and the most powerful ones are capable of throwing weights of 55 grams or more.

In the manufacture of Favorit Extreme fishing rods, the manufacturer used inexpensive but high-quality materials. The result is spinning rods with decent performance data at an affordable price. This made it possible to create truly folk instruments, which almost all fishermen know about.

The Ektrim series is made of quality materials

Major Craft Dodger 752mh

The Favorite Extreme blank is made of Korean-made carbon fiber SV 26TOHH. This inexpensive material allowed the manufacturer to create a powerful and “evil” spinning rod with ultra-fast action, which did not lose sensitivity and flexibility. Therefore, the “rods” of Extreme are very sensitive and well dampen the jerks of fish when playing.

The pass rings deserve special attention. They have a small diameter and are installed according to a modern concept, which consists of evenly distributing the load throughout the entire form. This allows you to balance the rod, minimizing parasitic inertia and squeezing maximum sensitivity out of it.

For reference! Favorite Extreme blanks are equipped with Korea SiC guides.

The rod handle is one-piece, made of EVA. It is of sufficient length to allow you to confidently hold the “rod” by resting it on your elbow, which is important in extreme conditions. Soft and warm neoprene is not only practical, it allowed the manufacturer to further reduce the price of spinning rods, making them more affordable for domestic fishermen.

Favorit Extreme has a reliable reel seat

A Korea Carbon reel seat is installed on the handle. In the first version of Extremes, it had a design in which the nut was screwed on top. This led to frequent loosening of the reel foot. Therefore, the manufacturer moved the nut down the holder, which turned out to be a competent and timely decision.

Reviews

Below are reviews from anglers who have already used the products and are ready to share their experience:

“The manufacturer indicates that the Favorite Zander 682H is intended for jigging, but the model is actually universal. I have not yet met another spinning rod that also worked effectively with virtually any type of bait with a weight from minimal to 60 grams.” Grade:

Kirill

“I tested the Favorite Arena 602XUL over the weekend - it’s a very high-quality spinning rod, especially considering that it belongs to the budget class. The only drawback is that the rings on the butt are rotated relative to the reel axis, I noticed this after the purchase. You should choose gear from this manufacturer more carefully; sometimes there are manufacturing defects.” Grade:

Dmitriy

“Last year I used the Favorite Zander 902H for the first time when I went to the Volga. A good spinning rod for asp fishing: it is inexpensive, but at the same time it is light in weight and has good sensitivity. There were no complaints when fishing with cranks; for such a price it’s hard to imagine something better.” Grade:

Maksim

“I am the owner of two Favorite Arena 662SUL spinning rods at once - these are inexpensive and very high-quality equipment that fits comfortably in the hands. With their help, I caught trout with baits within the test specified by the manufacturer and with heavier models, the results were always excellent.” Grade:

Anatoly

“I am very familiar with the products; I have various models of spinning rods from this manufacturer. Most of them were purchased at a low price, but the build quality and performance parameters for budget class fishing rods are simply excellent. You can find better quality and catchier models, but they will cost much more. The only thing I didn’t like was the low quality and insufficient strength of the branded cases, which quickly become unusable, but there are no complaints about the spinning rods themselves.” Grade:

Vladimir

“Among my collection of spinning rods there is a Favorite Zander 792M - this is an excellent universal rod for fishing from the shore if you are planning a trip to an unfamiliar body of water, the conditions of which are still unknown. Sensitivity is excellent, the tackle works best when fishing with a retractable leash weighing up to 20 grams, the build quality is excellent, it weighs little, the only drawback is the low casting range. Last time I used it for twitch fishing with wobblers, with their length not exceeding 70 cm, the spinning rod provides a good game.” Grade:

Alexander

“After the first fishing, I didn’t like the Favorite Arena 662SUL spinning rod; it works very poorly with jigs even in the test. After several uses, I finally got used to working with it; for jig fishing, it turned out to be much more convenient, if you do not go beyond the permissible limits of the test.” Grade:

Eugene

“This is the second year I have been using the Favorite Sentinel 832M spinning rod - it is a good and sensitive rod that is not afraid of overload. I go fishing almost every weekend, and no shortcomings were found during this time.” Grade:

Leonid

“I like the Favorite Arena 832M spinning rod for everything – ease of use, weight, sensitivity, design, quality, price. The handle is very comfortable, there are never any problems when casting and fishing, the upper test value is even higher than what was stated by the manufacturer.” Grade:

Boris

“I was pleased with the Favorite Arena 762ML spinning rod after the first fishing; it’s a very high-quality rod, when used, you can safely exceed the test several times – this does not have any negative impact on fishing productivity. It also worked great with miniature and light baits; it’s very rare that I come across such universal models with similar performance.” Grade:

Alexei

Features of the updated Favorite Blue Bird 2021 series:

The manufacturer deliberately did not change the direction of the rod, keeping the main features of this model unchanged: excellent working “micro-jig” qualities at a low price. However, there are quite a few differences between the new series and the old one. The main differences between Favorite Blue Bird 2021 and the old Blue Bird:

The new model has a thinner and more elegant reel seat; The foregrip (the upper nut of the reel seat) has become almost two times shorter. This is very convenient for those fishermen who, when retrieving, like to place their index finger on the rod blank, thereby increasing the sensitivity of the tackle; The spinning rod is equipped with a removable hookkeeper. This allows those fishermen who do not recognize this element of gear to easily abandon it; a reinforced cross-shaped winding was used in the butt part, which makes the butt more durable; guide rings - an exact copy of KR-Consept - are lighter than those of the “old” bird; The glued top, in comparison with the old model, lacks a white paint coating. She became a little more sensitive and delicate, but at the same time a little more fragile.

In general, we can say that the new blue bird works better in the low end of the dough and is more consistent with the dough. On the other hand, you can no longer overload the form.

Spinning Favorite EXCLUSIVE Twitch Special

We want to please fans of twitching! The Favorite EXCLUSIVE Twitch Special spinning rod was released for sale specifically for this type of fishing, which is common among fish lovers today.

Manufacturers have combined in one rod all the necessary characteristics that allow you to easily engage in twitching: medium action, which has a beneficial effect on casting distance, definitely high rigidity and, so to speak, inertia, which allows you to feel “feedback with the bait.”

This series of spinning rods is assembled only from high-quality fittings from Japanese manufacturers.

These include the Fuji VSS reel seat and the latest generation Fuji K-type guides, the main task of which is to prevent the soft braid from tangling.

Reviews

“In his opinion, this series works well with large-sized wobblers. And just recently, thanks to the fact that he was fishing with one of these spinning rods, he managed to catch a pike weighing 1400 grams, preventing it from hiding in the snags.”
