Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Very sturdy and a great caster. The rod extends easily, feels solid and casts well. My 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.

My 17 yr old and 8 yr old uses them. It is a little big for the 8 year old. Easily fits in your backpack. Would recommend for anyone and will be buying these for my kiddos.

Extra items are beautiful. Will be purchasing 1 or 2 more in the near future. Prompt and great customer services. Came with a couple of extra protective sleeves.



Cons

Reel is garbage! Unfortunately it's not the color it advertises.

The bail arm only flips back into place after casting about 1 out of 10 casts. The way the real attaches to the rod is done with flimsy and cheap screw parts. The metal loops that the fishing wire runs through snapped off when closing the pole.

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.
