I have been using the 9' 15-30lb celilo as a bobber rod for five years. They have landed 1000's of fish and only broken two of them.

The first was a client who was told to set the hook hard enough to break the pole. He did!

The second was the same guy two casts later and I told him to ease up a bit. He didn't ease up enough.

They are a great rod for the money. I have 25$ in each of the 10 blanks I own.

I paid less for all 10 rods than you would for 1 Quality Loomis.
