1.0 out of 5 stars Very cheaply made!, April 7, 2008

By	Summer Jordre "SummerMommy" (Oregon) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Don't waste your money! I bought this for my 4 year old. The 1st time we used it, after the 3rd cast, it wouldn't reel in anymore. My husband took it apart and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't reel in. The fishing line was all over the place and my son was very disappointed that his fishing pole wouldn't work. My advice, don't waste your money! It's very cheaply made.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just another "no" vote, basically, May 26, 2009

OK, this is a little unorthodox, but here goes: I buy kids' fishing poles to use to entertain my cats - they go completely bonkers when I tie a lead sinker and some cellophone to the line (without the hook of course), then "cast" for them down our long hallway. It's an easy, fun way to play with them without spending a ton of money.

I had this gear for only a few months when it fell apart. The cleat holding the reel to the pole is made out of flimsy plastic and one flange of it broke off. I was able to replace it for a while using electrical tape, but eventually I also started having trouble reeling it in, the top wouldn't stay screwed on, etc.

It's a good length for my admittedly unusual use for it, but after so much trouble with the reel I replaced it with the Daiwa D-Fish Combo kit, with which I've been a lot more happy. You can also buy the D-Fish here on Amazon for about $20.

Happy fishing!

1.0 out of 5 stars Broke the first time, April 28, 2009

By	unhappy "S" (belleville, il) - See all my reviews

We bought this for my son's 4th birthday. We opened it 1 month later on a camping trip (trashed the packaging) and it broke the first time he used it. Like the other review, it wouldn't reel in, also, the release button broke, seemed to be stuck, when we tried to fix it, it wouldn't screw back together. I wrote the company and am waiting to hear back. My daughter on the other hand has had a "Finding Nemo" fishing pole for 3 years and we have never had a problem with it!
