Nothing wrong except it casts like a dog, . . .


Since in this thread we're talking about casting in small, bushy streams where
the length of the leader is about all you're throwing, I wouldn't think casting
action would have much influence. In cases where I just need 10-30 feet of
casting, the KPOS works fine.

. . . looks like **** . . .


Ahhhh, now we're at the heart of the matter. ;-)

. . . and the goddamn reel seats fall off.


I haven't seen complaints about that for years, and I haven't experienced the
problem. Probably a bad batch.

Other than that, yeah, it's a steal at twice the price.


I agree. It's also a great rod to keep in the back of the car / truck for those
unexpected fishing opportunities. If it gets damaged, lost, or stolen it's no
big $$ loss.
