Bought an Eagle Claw outfit from local hardware last season for 40 bucks. I liked that it has large eyes on the rod that don't ice up. Used it for first time this season, the reel came apart in my hands while trying to bring a good perch up. I attempted a fix at home, nut on drive shaft to spool had stripped, had to toss the reel away. Buyer beware... Never have had a reel fail after one season of use.
