I have 3 of these units, they have both good points and bad. The good points are: low price, the cam design on the spool both good and bad, no wind flags and an adjustable drag spool. The bad: light weight which makes it easy to blow over in the wind but you can lower the overall height of the tip up which helps, the flag can get a lttle tricky to set in the cold because the spool needs to be in right position becasue of its design. I find I have to put a little drag on the spool to set the flag and then back it off. Overall not a bad unit, but I think I perfer my Jack Traps better.
