What was your gripe with it?
casting distance was poor, first guide was way too small and wind knots too frequent (braid bunching up on first guide), broomstick stiff too.
Other than that is was OkWink

I'd be tempted, if I hadn't just spent all my spare cash.  They also have orca stickbaits and waxwings on special.  And, probably because I bought a different set last week, Jarvis Walker split ring pliers for 9.99.
