    This is, by far, one of the best combo deals you can find. I always bring a spare rod and reel when I go camping/canoeing (because when you’re 20 miles from nowhere and your reel breaks, you better have a backup). It might not cast as far or have all the bells and whistles, but it will catch fish!

    The reel is so tough, you can drop in your backpack when you’re hiking in case you get lost and need food. that’s how much trust I have in it.

    Hurricane Ike and an 8′ tidal surge wiped out all of our fishing gear…but not our pier! So with most of our money going to repairs and such, this was the bargain of the century to get back out on that pier to catch whatever Ike left in Galveston Bay (or put in it…lol). Buying more now for friends to use when they visit. It may not be the best on the market (and who really cares at this point) but it catches sand trout, big croakers, etc. I like it just fine.

    This is a good little fishing combo. I bought this for my mom so we could go fishing… She really likes it. I dont care much for spincast reels but this is a good one if thats what you like. The rod is very nice too, though probably too long for a little kid, considering its a bit over 6ft long. Can’t beat the price either!

    The cheapest acceptable travel rod, September 6, 2009

    Unlike all telescopic rods, this one is a sensitive enough to be fished with. It has a decent quality, and the only warning I have for the future buyers is to assemble it tightly, otherwise it may fall apart during a strong cast. It happened to me once, but I was lucky having strong braided line, so I did not lose a fallen piece in the river. After I snugged it in more tightly, I never had a problem with it. When disassembled, it fits in the smallest backpack. The clear case is a bit tight, but it is needed to protect it from other objects in your backpack, and I also use rubber rings to secure pieces together.
    The rod is strong enough to pull several pounds fish (or piece of wood, if you are less lucky) with some precautions.
    Overall, you can’t find better rod for the price! Don’t buy those telescopic rods – you would not feel a single bite!

    I have used this rod for many years. I pack it right in the bottom of my tackle box. So it’s ready to go any where any time, long as it’s Rocky Mountain beaver ponds fishing for brook and rainbow trout.
    A common misconception about these rods, that I often hear from friends and family, is that these sectional rods often come apart when casting, well that has not been the case for me. I have never had a problem casting with this rod, or any other problems with it for that matter. But the part I love the most is being able to pack it down into my tackle box with very little effort.

    Great Deal on a Great Rod, August 28, 2008

    I owned an older version of this rod for several years and had purchased a different make and model for my wife to backpacking. After two years of disappointment, I sought out the Shakespeare and to my delight it the same design as the one I have loved and fished with for serveral years. It has great action, easily assembled and for those who like to get away from the rest of the fishing public to find the good spots, this is a great rod to have along.
