These rods are ok but you need to pay attention to the reel seat and reel collar. If they are tightened too tight, they will strip and you will need to secure the reel collar with glue or something else to keep it in place. Then after they are stripped, when you set the hook, the reel comes off the rod and into your hand by the reel handle. Just saying. I purchased several to replace my outdated rods a couple years ago. Spend the extra money and buy Ducket White Ice rods. They have a 20 year warranty. No questions asked. The white ice are the only ones with the 20 year . The Original Duckett and Ghost rods have a 12 month and 2 year warranty. **And to answer your question if Skeet Reese uses these rods on his boat, Yes he does. I was his marshal at the 2014 BASSMASTER BASSFEST on Chickamauga Lake TN. I asked him the same question. He replied, "I use the same rods and reels that a person can buy at Wal-Mart and and place that sells his brand of rods/reels." "There is no difference." Thats when I brought up my rod issues to him. Enjoy. Not trying to be negative towards any one brand or discourage anyone from purchasing that brand of product. Just giving first hand info on this product that I have experienced. The 7'6" carolina rig rod has been good to me. The action is great. It has probably outlasted most of the rods I purchased from this line.
