    I have a couple of 9 footers and they are ok. They are pretty limber, but some people like them that way. In my opinion it's no B&M, but I didn't give a B&M price either. Local Walmart stores are running a crappie hunter combo in a 9 ft for $29.

    i like'em fine. anyone can break any pole made. i've seen people break a rod they didn't like just so they could return it and get credit. for the money you get a good deal.

    I have several they are limber but I like them that way.Caught a 36" muskie on one last year and landed it it.

    I have 4 and after 2 years I just broke the tip off one, 100% my fault. they are limber 1 oz tight line is above max for this rod, unless you have your rods mounted up 5 to 10 degrees. for split shot and bobber rigs they are just fine. I have caught bass and cats up to 5lb with no issues and snagged lots of stuff and bent the poles 180, never a crack. for the price I see nothing wrong with them. All rods come from china, now I think so why pay more.

    i have 2 that i use for longlining and happy with the rod and its action, BUT!!! be sure they are the fixed reel seat.. they made some with the adjustable plastic rings and they are a pain in the arse. i dont know how many times i've dropped the reel in the lake while pulling the rod out of the holder.

    ben, i have a rod like that but it's not the crappie hunter. anyway to solve that problem i wrapped duct tape around each ring and problem solved.
