I'd love to tell you I bought this to go fishing any time, any where, but I actually got it as a cat toy.My kitten is a terror. Straight up hyper active terror. I wanted something I could use to cast a toy far away but also lazily bring it back so I didn't have to leave my couch to get it. Sheer laziness in entertaining a cat prompted this purchase.Are the lures good? I have no idea. I pawned them off on my Dad who said he could use them (as of writing this review he hasn't so I can't weigh in on the subject).Is the line it comes with good? I think so. It holds up to a 5lb kitten attacking a toy at the end so you know, logically that also means it'll hold up to a 5lb fish? Honestly I don't know. But hey, it holds up to a terror of a kitten so there's that.It's super easy to use. Granted, casting rattling fake mice is a world apart from a lure (lighter weight makes it harder to cast) but overall super easy. You can learn even if you've never used an actual fishing pole for actual fishing (I've used standard poles for fishing, just cast the same.My friend who has never fished a day in her life picked up casting after 0 instructions from me in about 3 tries).The folding mechanism is neat, it allows the pole to stay very compact.Would this be the best fishing pole you've ever purchased? No, but do you expect it to be? No. It's a $15 folding fishing pole. It's compact and gets the job done with a bit of humor-whether you're cat fishing or kitten fishing.Really though-it's been a godsend for keeping that kitten entertained. He'll chase it after I cast and it'd fun to watch him chase it as I reel it back in. Sometimes I reel it in rather slowly so he can pounce it.

Amazingly cool little fishing rod. Great to throw in your backpack when hiking or take with your quad bike. It casts very, very far. You do have to get used to the action being different due to it's length. Whereas with a regular 6-7 foot fishing rod, you can cast with minimal arm movement and just flick the wrist, with this you need to swing your whole arm.

This is the greatest little fishing gadget!I've got all kinds of rods and reels in the truck including fly fishing gear. What a fun item.I do a lot of fishing on the fly (at lunch during work - any day you can get in 10 casts is a good day). I have all kinds of collapsible rods, full size rods, and large bait casting and fly rods. This is so easy. I used the stock lures that came with the rod and store in the handle and jammed another of my favorite in there with some swivels. Didn't even change the line - just opened the box and used it.You should have seen the look on the other competitors in the Adult Fishing Derby when I competed using this rod. Even funnier when I landed the first trout.You won't be profiled on ESPN using this rod but the fun quotient is extremely high. Well made, convenient to carry, seems to be repairable (pops open) if needed. I always say that the best fishing rod (or gun) sitting in a case at home is worth nothing compared to something like this in the car being used at the spur of the moment.I've fished about 10 times with it (including from a canoe) and made about 100 casts and it performs flawlessly.Used appropriately, and with proper expectations (you won't land a tuna with this), this rod & reel combo will provide hours of enjoyment. If I break it or it gets damaged, I'll buy another one.
