Someone bought me one for Christmas when I was a kid.
What a piece of junk.
My kid got me one when he was 5, and we took it to Alaska that year. I caught steelhead to 14 pounds with it in the small stream running out of Kegan Lake down to the salt water. It was a lot of fun and easy to pack.
I still have it somewhere in one of the storage sheds...need to get it out and run some new line on it.
