Default Dave, I thought the same thing.

Throw that crap out and get a real fishing rod and reel.
Different strokes for different folks!

seven

time.

No

You are being silly Bob.

You are also used to Fresh water. I live on the beach here in Jersey and
I know what the
salt water can do to gear.

7 out of 10 casts ? I expect, and I get, 39 or of 40 casts !

30 or 40 feet is a joke. Hell with my 12' Diawa with 17lb. test I can
cast a 100 yards
{with the wind at my back :-) } with a 2 1/4 oz. Krocodile or Gator spoon

The thing is a novelty toy and nothing more.
