Does anyone else have these reels and think they just SUCK!

today was the last straw. i was caught on the bottom so i reeled down and give it a yank, well the reel starts to free spool and the handle is spinning and whacks my finger hard enough to give me a bruse.
this is not a one time thing, they just start to free spool alot, meny times durrung a day fishing. if i remeber right while chongo was bringing in a #5 dollie useing one of my rods it did it to him and he got his knuckles smacked.

when they let go it has nothing to do with the switch, it's still in a locked position.

anouther thing that blows with these reels is after you cast and you snap the bail down the line likes to make a loop around the bail so when you reel it feels like your line has twisted around the pole somwhere.

this problem is not to bad for me becouse i use them enough to know what it is and fix it quick. customers on the other hand have no clue to what going on and are looking up and down the rod trying to find where it's tangled while the fishing gear gets stuck on bottom. i've lost alot of gear this way over the last year.

and problem #3 is when you reel in your gear the round nut that holds the reel handle on unscrews. if your drift fishing or float fishing and reeling your gear in fast at the end of your drift you need to tightin the reel up ever 2-3 casts.

now if your thinking that i might have just gotten a bad one you could be right. that is if i only had one that does this, but no, i have 6 and they all do this.

these reel are crap in my opinion and would highly recomend that no one buys them.

OK, now let hear from every one saying "i got one and love it"
