Last cheapo rod I bought, I cast out and the thing broke in 2 sending half of it down the line into the seaThen as I frantically tried to reel it back in, the housing holding the reel in place broke away from the body of the rod so it was spinning around as I was trying to use itMy mate thought it was hilarious. I wasn't amused at all!
Thanks buddy. I'm sure I'll get hold of something eventuallyGreat feeling when you catch your first fish though dude. Hope you manage to get at least 1
