Yeah, I have 3 of them and had to replace 2 at BPS already. Once these break I will be moving on to something else.

...Each to their own liking ..... this is a very good deal if you like them I have landed some really big fish down at Falcon on these rods IMHO ... these are some the BEST RODS in the $100 price range ..... so 50% off is a good deal.

Maybe that's the one these guys are breaking! I use the older version as my primary worm rod and hammer the hook set on em. Never had a problem. The 2.0 is a med heavy for spinner/chatter baits. Haven't hooked a "big" fish on it yet, but it seems good to go for me!

I just looked at the ad. You are right, they aren't the 2.0 version. My mistake.

....the 1.0 & 2.0 are very good rods..... I also have both & have landed plenty of 7 pound bass on them. Again, each to own liking but at 49 bucks it a pretty darn good deal. I don't even need them but ordered 2.

I don't see anything online except the 6'6" rods. Where'd you find a 7' to order for $49?
