Some instructions with this one would have been nice. As another reviewer mentions, it was in pieces by the time I received it and it took me a few minutes to figure out how to reassemble the device. Also, it took me another few minutes, but I finally figured out that this tube needed to be the second from the last on my staff. That was the only position (on mine) where it would fit! So, just a simple drawing showing recommended placement and maybe a few sentences explaining how to reassemble the fishing pole would have helped immensely. I just got it so I haven't had a chance to use it, and since it is part of my catastrophe prep stash, I hope to never have to use it. But if I ever do, I sure hope it works as expected!!
