Title: 18+1 bearing reel for $18.95?

This came up in my Yahoo ads. For sale at Walmart. Hard to imagine there would be quality with this reel. Has anyone seen this wonder?

What make of reel?  Sounds like a misprint!

Never from Walmart but they are all over eBay. All the ones I've seen are shipped directly from China. They look cheap in the pictures and I'm sure parts to service would be a no go.

For less than 20 bucks it wouldn't be a huge loss to buy one just to check out but I wouldn't expect anything special.

A spool of line might cost more than the reel.

It might be a good prop for a movie, but I'd rather spend $20 on a lure than might last longer.
