Telescopic Fishing Rod Reel Combo 2pcs 5.9FT/6.89FT Collapsible Fishing Pole Spinning Reel Lures Tackle Bag All-in-one Fishing Gear Fishing Rod Kit for Beginner Youth Adults Kids

I bought this set knowing that I used to love fishing as a teenager, and hoping to get back into it. It took me several months, but after I finally starting using them, caught many small bass and perch. I am starting to replace these now, with better, but I'm extremely happy with the purchase.The good: these are extremely versatile, easy to carry, can be put in a car/seat/bucket, and the reels are OK considering the price point. Probably after your tenth use (on the reel), you'll start to notice a wiggle, but if you're fishing that much, you already got your $12 out of it. ($50/4 pieces=$12.50)I only have three complaints, and considering the money, it didn't knock down the stars. One, the top extension wouldn't collapse after several uses. Two, the rod is not as responsive as a solid piece rod.Don't count on the tackle being good for anything. I really wasn't expecting this, but maybe some are.If your looking for a gift for someone whose beginning, looking to see if you still like fishing, want to have some cheap sets on hand for friends/family that don't fish a lot or maybe as a couple back up rod/reel sets these are great and I highly recommend them.

Very happy with my order! Perfect traveling size!

Both rods broke in under a month with minimal use on small 1 - 2lb fish at most.Rod #1: Out of the box the reel had a grinding sound/feeling with heavy resistance and would catch frequently causing my lure and hook to fly back at me on cast. Hooked into my shoulder because of this. After about 3 weeks the handle fell off. Turns out the screw-on cap opposite the handle gets loose quickly when reeling in and it fell off at some point. This pole is now unusable because the reel handle is no longer anchored to the rod and now just falls out on use.Rod #2: Didn't have the same grinding as the first rod but within a single day the reverse switch broke. Now regardless of physically switching on and off, reverse is turned on making it harder to actually hook a fish that bites. That also means if you're not gripping the line at rest it'll reel itself out.They weren't expensive but you get what you pay for. Would not recommend, especially not for kids as the defects led to several self hooks on cast.

Beginner fisher here.Never owned my personal fishing equipment. When I visited local fishing stores, owners really pushed to sell expensive gears... so I decided to try this cheap stuff from Amazon first before committing to better gears.It definitely feels flimsy and cheaply made but here are my thoughts:5/27/2021My item arrived within 1 day from Amazon delivery. I saw some reviews saying "it looks used" and "it arrived rusted and broken." My item did not look used nor broken. It definitely feels flimsy and cheaply made but I was able to assemble everything without breaking.The size and portability are nice since I bike to the fishing spot. Everything fits into a regular-size backpack.5/28/2021First time using. Upon the first 2 castings... both reels made birds nest and tangled pretty badly. This could be my fault for not casting properly or not having a good weight attached to my line.After cutting off the tangled lines and resetting up the reel and rod. From 3rd castings and the rest of the day, it never tangled and seemed to work fine. Maybe the reel needed to break in or the fishing line was not evenly reeled into the spool when I first got it.After coming back home. I disassembled rods and reels to pieces and rinsed everything, dry, oiled, and assembled back successfully without anything breaking. I think oiling will be very important. I can sense the telescoping rod is definitely not going to retract and fold properly if not maintained well.-----So far so good. Let's see if it still works fine after 2nd use next week.

We don't fish at all. I've basically fished about 8 times in my life and caught maybe 2 or 3 fish. But my kids wanted to try fishing so I got our family this set and 2 other cheap rod and reel combos. Folds up nice and compact with it's own bag with enough room to keep some hooks, bobbers, and lures. I think a better investment than the plastic toy like rod and reel combo, but you still get what you're paying for. Cheap, but gets the job done.Works, but won't last long. Easy purchase if you want to see if the kids want to continue fishing without a big investment.One of the rods broke after the first fishing trip, the telescoping rod basically slid out without stopping. The other rod and reel still works. The line had a tendency to get caught under and inside the reel, but it was an easy fix.The kids (8 and 10) want to continue fishing, so I'll have to get them a more durable rod next time.

Great quality and color, great design and seal. Will continue to buy this item

My son loves it!!Thanks amazon

I ordered these just to have a couple cheap poles in the car so my girlfriend and I could fish at a moment’s notice but I didn’t expect them to be this cheap. The reels are made of plastic I believe. The rods themselves aren’t bad at all.. in fact I’ve bought new reels for them and I use them more than my expensive setups and I catch a lot of fish with them.
