I also made the mistake of picking up a couple Corsair's last spring to get me through the last week of the spring steelie season, BIG MISTAKE. One of them got half way through a fish and the drag completely seized (snap), and shortly after that the other one started freewheeling intermittently. I took them back on my way home and got them replaced, only to have the exact same thing happen the next day. So I figured I would just cut my losses and I threw one in the crapper at the take out, and conspicuously planted the other one along the river for a "special" friend to find. Robbo not like Corsairs.
