Pros & Cons
Pros
The rod extends easily, feels solid and casts well. Reel has a smooth retrieve. Only gripe is that when you cast out and want to snap the reel shut, it sometimes takes some force on the reel handle to snap it shut.
The reel feels like good quality it is smooth cranking and casting. The bearings seam really smooth and the quality is very nice! This rod has plenty of durability and proves as a great frist time pole.
These are excellent for backpacking! Would recommend for anyone and will be buying these for my kiddos. It is a little big for the 8 year old. Easily fits in your backpack.
Extra items are beautiful. Will be purchasing 1 or 2 more in the near future. I also add a couple of sprays of oil and wd-40 prior to storing which is why i'm still using it two years later. Came with a two extra protective sleeves.
No complaints. Nicer then expected. Very impressed. Great value.
Cons
Would probably check into other combos before purchasing. Will not handle lures under 1/4 oz. Line and lures included are junk. Return is over.
Highlights
Quality
The rod extends easily, feels solid and casts well.
Tried this rod/reel outfit out the other day and it was very good quality.
The hook keeper is a joke held in place by two o-rings, very difficult to put on and dommed to fall off absolutely unless!
It finally broke a couple of weeks back after catching countless fish with this thing.
Price
Seems pretty good for the price,well made,smooth reeling,folding crank,reversable,i'm pleased so far
Not a huge deal at all for something like this off of amazon, so i don't consider it a con.
Price makes it a good value for a spare(second) rod/reel.
Don’t expect anything crazy for a $50 combo but it’s really fun to throw in a backpack and hike around looking for ponds.
Packaging/appearance
I got the 10 foot pole as a gift, and loved the look so i went back and baught the 6 foot version (more my length) and its cons... Read More
Package arrived on time placed at the front door in great condition no problem
On the pictures it showed it coming with a carrying case, which it did not it came with the sleeve which is why i removed 1 star.
We set it all up and kept the reel attached but just packed the poles down when moving.
Competitiveness
Its stronger than i expected and the reel works better than my other 2 more expensive poles.

I refuse to take expensive gear backpacking because the chance of breaking stuff in the backcountry of wyoming is just too high
