1.0 out of 5 stars A Piece of Junk, March 23, 2009

I had a couple of Zebco spincast rods and reels similar to this when I was a kid. They were generally reliable, so I thought one of these would make a good first rod for my 5 year old daughter. But I picked this model up for her last weekend and it just doesn't work. Sometimes it will cast as far as 4 or 5 feet. Most of the time it locks up and does nothing at all, even though I am operating the thing properly.

This reel is unfortunately a completely piece of junk. Literally, you'd be better off tying some line to a flexible stick.

4.0 out of 5 stars All of My Kids Want this Reel, August 3, 2010

We bought this fishing reel for my 4 year old daughter. We recently went on a fishing trip and she caught more fish than anyone. I think this reel it is great for a young child and now my 16 year old, 12 year old and myself want one when we go fishing again. It is very lightweight and easy for anyone to detect when they have a bite.

It did lock up on us a little, but this was after catching a lot of fish. My daughter was the only one catching two fish at a time and she did so 4 times. I think the reel started locking up from all of the weight.

4.0 out of 5 stars great beginner pole for kids and great for adults ice fishing :), January 7, 2012

My daughter loves this pole - I'm sure because it has a character on it, but she has caught fish on this and she does great. She's been a number of times now, and at age 4, she's able to fish with little help from me or anyone else.

One more than a few occasions her pole has caught more fish than those of us experienced fishers.

I took her pole ice fishing and she caught the biggest one of the day.

Con: Every few trips it seems I'm having to get a knot out of the line. I'm not sure if that's the cheap pole or the use from a child. Either way, it's often enough to notice.
