This was a gift. One guide (SiC) came off and the frame was cracked, so I used strong adhesive to fix the SiC and the entire guide base three times. I've used it twice for moray eel fishing, and the guide didn't come off even when I got a big one, so it's usable. It's easy to carry and handle, and because it's designed for large fish, it can be used for targeting big game fish from boats or the shore.
