Saw one International 50 dropped and lost while using one. This is just my opinion.

That being said, he'll probably hook up locked and loaded and win the pool. Was out recently, rental locks the bail at the depth called out, hooks up, line screaming out, figures he'll adjust the drag but instead opens the bail.
