Anybody have any reviews about them. I just got one and it feels good but have not fished with it yet. Figure for 39.00 can't really go wrong with it.

I've got four of them. One broke the first time I used it. Broke on a cast. (took it back with the receipt and they credited by card) I like the small diameter handles. On a scale of 1-10 I'd give 'em a 6 or 7.

Don't think you can go wrong for the price. Haven't fished one but tested them in the store. You can be sure if you have a problem with them Academy will take care of it for you.

I was going to post on cheap tackle that works. I have one of the H2o rods. I have to say not only do the 39 dollar rods work good, the 24 dollar reels on sale that go with them work good to. The rods seem to work as good as my more expensive rods. The are light, seem to be sensitive and cheap. I laid into a couple of 4-5 pound fish on Falcon here a while back and they did just fine. I just wish they split grip.

Split them yourself. It is not hard to do. The hardest part is making sure that the rod varnish applies evenly.
