Well I would argue they aren't trash, but would agree they are what they are, that being primarily a panfish rod.
I could own 20 of them along with many others. Im now due to age and condition a panfish angler, targeting Crappies.
I primarily use them for whats known as spider rig trolling, which uses multiple rods.
They can handle the occaissional large bass or catfish easily considering theres no reel on them.
BnM tackle markets lots of different rods including telescopic ones and some have guides on them.
Ive also seen them in Bass Pro shops here in Fl.
Ive never paid over $20 for one, and have bought them for much less.
Id be checking them out before paying that much for one.
