Yeah its obvious a rod and reel is a lot better than a Marmish, I am glad some one finally wokeup to reality. I wouldn't want that pile of junk if you gave me a new one I got lots of good rod andreels.
For 25 bucks you get the most sensitive fishing device on the market. I use rods when im chasing walleye and pike and stuff because i use heavy jigs but for perch, whites and trout it cannot be beat. You need to have some finesse when fishing with these units, cant just yard the fish in. I bought one when they came out about 6 years ago and caught alot more fish with them. Instead of staring down the hole to see if a fish is gonna bite you can fish more mobile like and you can detect super light bites. I usually have 2 on me at least when im going for perch whites or trout because they are that darn effective. To each their own but these things are good if you take a bit of time to use them.
FOR $25 YOU CAN BUY YOURSELF A REAL ROD,WITH A REAL DRAG, WITH REAL RESULTS , INFACT YOU COULD PROBABLYGET A LOT BETTER ROD FOR $15 DOLLARS OR LESS.USE COMMON SENSE PEOPLE NOT NON SENSE AND COMMERCIALISM, THIS PRODUCT IS A FRAUD!
i,ll take it. never tried one but i did not think i could catch whitefish with treble hooks either.lol . i will knock it or not after i try it for perch.i am in calgary.let me know.orv.
