Korean food is awful. Kimchi everywhere, all the time.

So is it safe to assume that you just dislike Koreans in general.?

No, that's not safe to assume. Ask Fortenberry.

Or better yet refer to Timmay's acronym page.

The short story is this:

Cabelas came out with the moderately priced Three Forks rods
which were manufactured in Korea and they were an immediate
hit on roff, practically everyone raved about them. I had an
opportunity to cast one and promptly labeled it a Korean
piece of ****, hence shortened to KPOS. I don't believe anyone
has changed their mind, most here still think the Cabelas
Three Forks is a good rod for the money and I still think it's
a KPOS.

No offense to Koreans intended.

Further word on the KPOS:

The favorable reviews on the Three Forks rods apply only to the 3 pc
3wt. A few years ago, Cabela's had the entire Three Forks line of rods
on sale for half price, so for 25 bucks, I picked up an 8' 5wt as a
beater/loaner rod to keep in my vehicle all the time. It is a POS of
the first order.....worth 25 bucks, maybe, but no more. The 3 wt seems
to be some sort of happy accident, and remains one of my favorites,
alongside my much more expensive Sage and Orvis rods. It cost me 40
bucks a number of years ago, and is currently adorned with an Orvis
CFO reel and a $50 line.

To the OP....This rod is very light, and will feel a bit strange with
the relatively heavy Medalist on it. There are some inexpensive
lightwieght reels in small sizes out there if you look around. There
are still a few Redington Redfly (discontinued) reels here and there,
an Okuma and Daiwa both make small capacity, inexpensive reels.
