Just that experience always kept me away from them, imagine being on the beach, you just walked several miles from a parking lot, you find fish, thier willing, you land a couple, your buddy lands a couple it's a hit each time your offering lands in the water and blam! Your next cast your precious Arra blows up. Thats a comforting thought isn't it?.....The Arra series has issues and is not trustworthy.

Nothing risked, nothing gained. Arra's may trade toughness for lightness and response, but they sure are fun to fish. The enjoyment they add to fishing, trip after trip, is not insignificant and well worth the occassional failure in my mind.
