I had 6 of these, now 5 due to one of them breaking at the handle while landing a fish, actually the fish was about 20 feet from the boat as I was skiing her on the surface while I got my net, then pow! Never had a rod break at the reel seat before.

But I love the sensitivity they have. If I miss fish its not from not being able to see the bite on the rod, but not reacting fast enough.
