Default Clicking the button - Ebay mistakes

So.... I have just committed to buy a really 'nasty' rod off fleabay... It seemed like a good idea at the time, but then, after you have won the auction all of your misgivings seem to come home to roost.


Have you ever 'pressed the button' and ended up with a real pile of junk tackle that you wished you had never clapped eyes on?

I guess it was fate

It was a Kinetic or a Switch I was going to buy it for the younger two kids to try as both of thosemodels look to have a good length fighting butt for them to cast double handed with.

You will have to let me know what it is like when you get it so that I know whether to bother with getting one or not.
