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.

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

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.

A cheapy fishing rod. Does exactly what it's meant to.Got tangled a bit, but it was mostly fault of the terrible quality fishing line. Reel worked well, but didn't have the automatic bail setter on reeling in. Didn't break! after pulling the line out and nearly killing the spool, THEN I could get a decent cast.Great for what it's worth; it worked, and then collapsed nicely. However, a pretty bad pole all around. I dont doubt that you could catch something with this, but it'd be miles better if you slapped better line on it.

Yes perfect for my grandson now he fishes everyday

Just Horrible. Only buy these things if you Plan for them to be used and broken in 1 to 3 trips. I gave 2 stars Only because the amount of tackle that came with it. One hand sized Bluegill was all it took to break the first one 30 mins into the first trip.

Went fishing few times with em. One tangled up but I like how they take up barely any space. Good for someone that just fish few times a year. I’d guess they will last 5 years if u take care of em
