Spoiled up and fished the quicktip version the other day with 3lb. I liked it overall and used it to land over 100 fish albeit small ones on Saturday.
It's a great deeper water, small jig rod when stripping line by hand and feeding it down the hole. It would drop a 1/32 jig down 15 ft in 5 to 6 seconds. I just set the drag loose and palmed the spool.
I can't wait to try it out on some bigger fish.
Only problem I ran into was back reeling to fine tune jig depth would sometimes wrap the line around the reel handle or frame. Overall a decent buy in my book and pretty fun to fish.
