I had one "once"....
The first day fishing with it the handle came off in my hand..
I fixed that with some superglue on the bolt.
about 1 month later I hooked a 22lb blue cat and the reel stripped out and wouldn't even reel in line anymore and I had to use my HANDS to get the fish in.
I took it off the rod and threw it in the river.
BUT: That is my only experience with only ONE of them, I might have got one that was not properly assembled and might have been a fluke in production.
But I won't buy another one.
Edit: my fishing buddy just stopped by and saw me reading this post and said, " There's a reason they call them Craptiva."
if tells you anything.
