Anyone have any feedback on the casting rods?  They seem like a steal for the price but that little grip bait keeper location has me concerned.   Not many reviews on them but they did mention the grip taking some getting used to.  Looks like your hand would be halfway off the grip when casting.

Not sure on the casting rods but I love my spinning Psycho stick. I didn't have any issues adjusting to the reel handle.

 

I can say that I'm not a huge fan of rods with hook keepers below and behind the reel but I often remove my baits after a day of fishing anymore so it's not as big of an issue anymore.
