My son who is 4 loves this rod and reel combo. It is easy to use and fun. Don't have to worry about him losing it in the water becuase it floats. Try it out and you will love it.

I purchased this rod & reel combo for my 3 year-old son at a local retailer prior to a camping trip but should have known better. Even before the trip, my son was practice casting in the back yard with a casting plug on the line and problems became evident immediately. The retrieve was gritty and hard for him to manage without help. The line would occassionally foul inside the housing and I had to perform "open heart surgery" (which *never* happens with "real" Zebco kit). I wound up replacing it shortly after the trip with a Zebco Authentic 11 Micro combo which is still going strong almost 4 years later. Now, I've got two Zebco Authentics as I just recently added another the stable when my daughter came on her first fishing trip with us. Skip this one and spend the (very) few extra dollars for something that will last for years.

This was the second Zebco rod that I had bought for our grandson. Since he is only 5 and I thought that, perhaps, he had been too rough when taking up the slack. This time, he was working on casting in the back yard and the practice lasted a very short time, less than an hour, when the line snarled. These rods are impossible to take apart in order to rewind the spool. I had read reviews online at Amazon and they were about 50-50 but each customer was very satisfied or vewrysorry that they'd made the purchase. I don't think a 50% approval rating is a very good recommendation.

We bought this pole for my 4 year old daughter. It only cast one time, and when we reeled in the fishing line it got all tangled up and wouldn't work. It was very cheap and we ended up sending it back.

this item was shipped in great condition and was right on time, great seller with good prices and fast shipping would buy from again.

a great first fishin pole for the sponge bob user. havent fished yet but he has a ball playing fishing in the house

This should be a perfect kid's rod - my grandson is 5 and we took him fishing for the first time last week - the rod was a perfect size for him and he managed the casting and reeling in just perfectly - - however - after about 8 casts - he was no longer able to reel in the line -it just sat there no matter how he cranked in the reel - all of the adults tried to fix the rod - - to no avail - - there were no backlashes on the line - nothing - it just broke - - fortunately we were able to get him a regular adult rod that he could manage and he caught his first fish - a rainbow trout!
