All in general > I just bought the sa 400 off Ebay and did some homework - liteweight , can hold decent amount of line , most of all inexpensive

MADE IN CHINA ,POOR QUALITY.BAILS CLOSE WHEN CASTING,HANDLES COME APART,LINE CAPACITY ADVERTISED IS NOT CORRECT.SPOOLED LIBRA 3500 UP WITH FIRE DID'NT EVEN COME CLOSE TO WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO HOLD.CHEAP $$$$$$ BUT NOT WORTH IT.

Good enough for a light schoolie rod, but won't hold up to heavy use. bm killed his in less than a year, and I torched the gears on a Taurus 6000 by retrieving darters and bottle plugs against a current.

Currently fishing a Camry 3500 on an 8' schoolie rod, and found exactly what Hesh found--listed line capacity is waaaay off the mark.
