What is the WORST fishing reel you ever owned?
Back in the early 90's "Pinnacle" reels & rods hit the scene hard. We sold quite a few of there Deadbolt series reels to customers. (Heck, I even bought one!)
What a piece of crap! At one time we had 22 Deadbolts returned and sitting behind the counter waiting to be sent back to the Pinnacle company, (we had only recieved 30!!)
I had to apologize to all my customers whom I had sold this "lemon" too!
And although we did continue to carry these reels I MADE SURE no one bought another one! (The Rep for Pinnacle would frequent the store and ask, "Hows the product selling?" I would retort," Great. Just Great!".) I must admit, their flipping rod 7'6" was nice.
How bought you guys? Bad experience?

that new zebco 33 that came out 2 years ago the gears stripped out pulling in that whale off a walleye (it did not even make the 14-inch minimum size limit)
