I think they're great. I've had one for many years. It works great for pike, trout and burbot. I've rarely caught a walleye on it unless in perfect conditions (like late rotten ice eyes or at PCR or pigeon where the eyes are easy to catch). I usualy get a pike on it everytime i set it up if that's what I'm after. Jig a spoon agressively and if a passive big one comes in and wants the still one then you're set. I use 6lb mono and a 10 lb flouro leader with a small jig just off the bottom and have a old medium rod that is perfectly tuned with it and I only use that rod with it. Can't be too stiff. If I'm into large pike, I use a bobber float with line set slack so it has time to eat it before tripping. Biggest pike I got on it was 15.2 lbs.
