I've bought a couple of rods from there and big w in the past for when mates withoutmuch gear come for a fish and I have to say they have performed pretty well for the price. Recently got a 6'6 2 piece, 2-4kg at Kmart for $20-$30 and that made a great little casting and squiding setup. I think for the money they are worth it for having a spare couple of rods handy and if theybreak you're not really losing all that much cash. Cheers, AJ
