Picked this rig up for taking on backpacking trips after reading all the reviews on here. After a few trips into the wilderness with this little thing of beauty, I am definitely in love with it. The pole assembles in a matter of seconds and feels both sturdy and sensitive at the same time. The reel does feel a little cheesy to me, but seems more than adequate for backwoods travel. The feel of the pole grip took some getting used to - the lower end of the grip is necessarily short and the overall feel of holding the rod seemed sort of wrong at first (compared to most other poles I've used), but after spending some time with it, it became quite comfortable. The metal ring that slides up and holds the reel in place has a tendency to get stuck and I've had to smack it with the edge of my knife to get it to pop free in order to take the reel back off after use - not really a major problem so far, but noted for posterity. The tip section seemed VERY tight on first assembly and I thought it was going to be a problem, but after a few uses, it settled in to a very nice fit - the pole stays together perfectly. Tried with both 6 and 4 lb monofilament, and as others have mentioned it seems the 4 lb is definitely the better choice for this rig. The case is sort of a funky shape for fitting into - or onto - the backpack - am still working on the best place to attach it, but after breaking the tips off of a couple of regular poles that were lashed the side of my backpack while going through thick brush or crawling under downed trees, this sturdy case is perfectly awesome and I'm happy to deal with it. The latches are obviously going to be the first thing to go, but will deal with that when it happens - bungee strap or something.Read more ›

As other reviewers have pointed out, this is a tiny rod, reel, and case. I bought this and the Okuma Voyager for a vacation trip. The main drawback of both is the need to load the spool with line (I used Sufix Elite 6 lb Fishing Line (Clear, Size- 330 YD Spool)). They are similar quality materials and reels, at least as far as I can tell, no-where near my Shimano gear, but they do the job. And it is great to have my own rods vs dealing with renting abused gear by the hour, so I'm a fan of both.

Basically the Daiwa is a 2/3 size version of the Okuma, but with a foam handle instead of a cork one. Personally I prefer the cork and the extra casting reach on the beach of the Okuma.

The Daiwa is great for my kids (7 and 9) to use, easier to handle and hold for a while, and lighter weight.

Also the Daiwa case has a tiny built in tackle box, maybe enough for a few sinkers/lures, whereas the Okuma includes a removable tackle box and has space for a lot more, and the foam cutouts give further flexibility.

Overall the Daiwa would be best if you are really tight on space, or need a hard case, otherwise the Okuma would be my choice for a nice portable rod/reel combo.

I am an avid Fly-Fisherman although not a purist, a backcountry guide, an outdoor writer ( You think?) as well and I simply LOVE this Ultra Light Combo! I spend an average of about 150-200 days a year on the water so the gear I choose must be the best. If too many fish are taken on flies or they in turn are not taking what I have to offer, I love the flexibility of having a great spin-cast reel on my pack. I bought mine from the Cherry Creek Orvis Store just about six years ago and it still functions like the day I purchased it. Unlike the review from "Ultralight-Hiker" on Amazon who "couldn't determine" what the weight class of "ultra-light" pole is and stated:

"I would never buy any product that advertises its self as ultralight and then does not list its weight. I have searched at least 20 sites trying to find the weight of the rod, the reel, and the case. If your going to advertise a product as ultralight it seems very poor judgement to have no information of the actual weight anywhere. Obviously shipping weight is not a useful number. As an avid ultralight camper, fisher, hiker, and rafter, I would not trust any company who does not list the weight of gear advertised as ultralight".

With such foolishness abound from one who is "Ultra-light" in all things including common sense, allow The Great White to educate you:

First of all my "ultra-light" friend, the term "Ultra Light" as used here has nothing to do with the actual weight of the product but what it's design is for. Ultra-light fishing rods are best for catching small bait fish like pan-fish. Extra-Heavy rods are used for heavy fish in surf fishing, deep sea fishing.

I have had one of these for over thirty years. I bought this one for my son. The MiniSpin is still an excellent way to take a high quality fishing combo wherever you go. It is not the rig for chasing huge fish, but I have caught pike on mine, and my son caught a four pound bass with his the first weekend he used it. This is a serious light spinning outfit. I recommend getting a second spool and filling one spool with four pound line and one with six. The four pound line works great with this rod and reel for things like crappies and smallmouth bass. Much more fun than just hauling them out of the water with a stiff rod and ten or twelve pound line. Six pound gives better results where there are weeds or bottom obstructions - you don't lose so much terminal tackle. The plastic latches on the case will wear with time, so I use a large elastic band to hold them closed. I highly recommend this package.
