Glad you guys are pointing this out I was thinking about getting one to try out but now I don't know if it is worth the risk

I dont know how the guts of it is set up. But the best way to test it is put it on a puller and see where it breaks at?

Everybody pool up the $24+ and somebody put it to the test...I'd pay a buck or two to find out.

Stick with hook............no breakie



Stick with hook with telescoping thingy with a spring thing with a scale thingy.........lots of breakie.







Keep it simple.
