i have two and there in good condition, and i still get them out every now and then for use out of the yak. but they dont sit in the holder too well.
the ones i have are a 5"6' 4-8lb and a 5"7' 12-14lb, both baitcast models

could you fill me in with any pros and cons to watch for at all ? how do you find them to use ? I dont think that many people are very fussed with them so it seems ????
Covertfly:
Bushwacker,
i find the smaller and lighter of the two i have easier to use as its not as stiff as the heavy longer one,
one thing i find is that the reel mount doesnt fit all over head/baitcaster reels,
short one handed operation pistol type grip reasonably easy on the hand, but doesnt allow it to be placed in a conventional rod holder easily
hope this is what you were after bushwacker and they are only my opinion and as i said i only get them out every now and then.
