Tripquips 24XT-LF30 Rod & Reel Combo Review
Our verdict
The Tripquips 24XT-LF30 costs $56.99 for a 6.9-foot, glass fiber spinning combo rated for 10 lb line and bass, backed by a 4.1-star average across 294 reviews. That rating trails every other combo in this comparison, and at nearly $10 more than the Okuma VS-605-20's 4.3 stars, the price-to-rating math doesn't clearly favor it.

294 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other fishing gear and tackle we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Picture targeting bass on a medium-action rod where you already know you want a 10 lb line rating and a compact two-piece build. The Tripquips 24XT-LF30 spells all of that out at $56.99: 6.9 feet long, glass fiber construction, 1.2 pounds, and built specifically for spinning technique.
Where it struggles is the review picture. A 4.1-star average across 294 reviews is the lowest rating among the four combos in this comparison. The Okuma VS-605-20 and the unbranded 2.1M/6.89FT combo both hold 4.3 stars, and the Ugly Stik combo leads at 4.5 stars. Even the cheaper Fiberglass 80-FSH3001, at less than half the price, scores 4.4 stars across a much larger 3,000-review base.
The sales figure of 300+ bought last month matches Okuma's pace exactly, putting it in the middle of the pack rather than at either extreme. For anglers who value transparent specs, this listing gives more concrete information than several competitors, but that detail comes with a rating that lags the field, worth weighing against the $56.99 price tag.
Pros
- Fully specified: glass fiber material, 1.2 lb weight, 6.9 ft length, and 10 lb line rating all listed
- Built specifically for bass on spinning technique, useful for buyers who know their target species
- 2-piece construction at 6.9 feet, matching the length of pricier combos like the Ugly Stik's 7-foot rod
- 300+ bought last month matches the Okuma VS-605-20's sales pace
- 294 reviews is a reasonable sample size for judging consistency
Cons
- 4.1-star rating is the lowest among the four combos compared here
- At $56.99, it costs more than the Okuma ($47.70) and Fiberglass ($20.81) combos, both rated higher
- 10 lb line rating is lighter than the Ugly Stik's 15-30 lb range, limiting it to lighter tackle
- Review count of 294 is far smaller than the Fiberglass 80-FSH3001's 3,000

Performance notes
At 1.2 pounds and 6.9 feet, this is a lightweight, medium-action rod built around glass fiber construction, a material that typically favors durability and bend over the stiffness of graphite. The 10 lb line rating puts it toward the lighter end for bass fishing, suited to smaller lures and lighter drag settings rather than heavy cover or larger fish. That line rating is notably lighter than the Ugly Stik combo's 15-30 lb range, which is built for catfish, so the two combos target different use cases despite similar rod lengths. Priced at $56.99, it sits between the Okuma VS-605-20 ($47.70) and Ugly Stik ($70.12), but its 4.1-star rating is the lowest of the four combos here, meaning the spec sheet is more competitive than the buyer feedback backing it up.
What buyers say
A 4.1-star average across 294 reviews puts this combo behind every other listing in this comparison, including the significantly cheaper Fiberglass 80-FSH3001 at 4.4 stars and 3,000 reviews. That gap is worth noting: a lower-priced combo with ten times the review volume is scoring higher, which suggests buyers may be finding more to like at the lower price point. On the other hand, 300+ units bought last month keeps pace with the Okuma VS-605-20, so current demand hasn't collapsed, it's just not translating into the strongest satisfaction scores in this specific set of combos.

Frequently asked questions
What line weight is the Tripquips 24XT-LF30 rated for?
It's rated for 10 lb line, lighter than the Ugly Stik combo's 15-30 lb range. That makes it better suited to lighter bass tackle than to heavier species like catfish, where a higher line rating is typically preferred.
Why is its rating lower than cheaper combos in this comparison?
At 4.1 stars across 294 reviews, it trails the Fiberglass 80-FSH3001's 4.4 stars over 3,000 reviews, despite costing nearly three times as much. The listing provides more detailed specs, but the review pattern suggests buyers are more satisfied with some lower-priced alternatives.
Is this a good combo for bass fishing specifically?
Yes, based on the listed specs: it's built for bass on spinning technique with a medium action and 10 lb line rating. That combination fits typical bass fishing conditions, though buyers wanting the highest-rated option in this comparison may look elsewhere first.
