Took one out on a lake in Nebraska this past summer. It was all the pole I needed. Just the right size pole & reel. It handled every fish that hooked up. The cool part about them is if you break it, no big deal. If you find out you don't like fishing, no-big-deal. Fishing dosen't have to be costly. Thanks Zebco!!!

Exactly what you would expect from Zebco. Durable, reliable, simple and
easy to use. A good beginners outfit.

The rod is very good but the reel stinks,Never worked not once, all tangled up. Not fun for kids on vacation. Went to local bait shop and picked up two higher quality reels the kids used all summer long with no problems. I usually swear by Zebco for kids reels but there were not good.

If your a weekend fisherman, then this will do fine. If you're a heavy user of fishing gear, then you might want to step it up a bit.

The ad was misleading... you don't get a 5'6 rod. You only get the bottom half of the rod and the reel. I gave it one star because the reel is good. We couldn't find anyone locally that can provide just the top half of the rod, even BIG 5 and Outdoor World and a mom and pop shop. I had to buy my son a whole new rod from the local mom and pop shop just transfer the reel. Dissapointing.

Bought one for my son at a big box store for 30% more then amazon (but was still under 16). My 45 lbs son has pulled in 2 decent fish on it. I am no expert, but don't put too much line on it, it will get line tangled in the gears, and the line it comes with snaps easy (my sons did). One of the fish caught was a 1 lbs + carp, pole held up well! Plastic is lame but their is alot of graphite, and teach your kid to baby his pole anyway right? It is cheaper then the mini poles, and this will last them a while. Buy your kid this pole is your not too rich and want too fish with a rookie. My boy can cast it well and I can send it flying. On the bad side the rod might outlast the reel, buy a 33 later maybe :)

any one looking for a great rod reel combo for a kid or beginner fisher should buy this setup

I bought this to replace a small Barbie pole for my daughter thinking it would be something cheep that she could use when she felt like fishing with me. The reel is cheep and doesn't allow my daughter to cast her line. The only way to fish with this pole is to drop the weight straight down off the boat and use your other hand to pull out the line. Sometimes the handle doesn't engage the lock and you have to fidget with the reel to get the lock to lock the line. I wouldn't recommend this pole to anyone unless you plan on changing the reel and just keeping the pole.

All I have to say is when I purchased this rod and reel combo, the reel came tangled already before I even used it!!! I dont care if this was 1 cent, why purchase something from a company who thinks its good business practice to sell something that does not work before it is even unpackaged. Just plain awful.

I'VE ORDERED A ZEBCO 202 SPINCAST COMBO AND I'D ONLY GOT THE ROD AND REEL. THEIR WAS NO ACCESSORIES THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO COME WITH THE ROD AND REEL. I CONTACTED THE SELLER ABOUT THIS AND THEY DID NOT RESPONED BACK. I AM NEVER GOING TO BUY ANY MORE ITEM'S FROM THIS SELLER. I WAS BETTER OFF SHOPPING AT WAL-MART FOR A ROD & REEL COMBO.
