I god this rod/reel combo for my nephew, 10 years old. The rod itself is of decent construction considering the price, although I would not recommend snagging it on anything (hard to enforce with little kids sometimes). The extended rod holds together well enough, but can rotate if not pulled snug causing some issues with casting and reeling, I did not want to pull them any tighter for fear of breaking the rod, but I did and it did not cause an issue other than causing a difficult time collapsing the rod afterwards.

The Reel works, but disassembling it there are some corners cut. This was to be expected for a kids rod though. It works well enough for its purpose (catching panfish like bluegill or sunfish) and there were no issues.

Accessories Lures and Bobbers: The lures are pretty run of the mill cheap lures you would expect, that's fine, everything else in there was great though, although the bobber I received was broke, that is just a happenstance, it was...

Ida Lirette: I bought this for my grandson and I also bought one for my granddaughter (but another brand). This one was much better. It has pockets and a great booklet- the other does no. this one has less hooks and bait, but the pocket and booklet makes up for that. In the booklet they show haw to make it left-handed but the instructions are for another open reel and not for a closed reel. We have not used it yet so I don't know how it works.

Amazon Customer: The casting reel would get tangled, you would have to pull the line, remove the cover and untangle the mess before being able to use again. My grandson would get bored waiting because he could not fish until we could untangle the reel. At several times we had to cut the line to untangle which caused the line to be shorter and shorter. The kit was great he enjoyed the net which he used to catch bate. The carrying case was a great plus to the hole purchase. Just wish the rod/reel was better.

A S.: The product was delivered on time and was easy to assemble. I liked that it is a telescopic pole which makes it easy to store. It comes with a decent sized carry bag (not too big not too small) but I had hoped for a slightly bigger bag. Nonetheless it works for our kids who are less than 6 years old. We needed a kit with a fishing net and this one comes with one so that our kids are not frustrated after a long day of fishing. It comes with its own hooks and bait and I would say it is a good value for money if you are starting out fishing with young kids. It has a good selection of everything you need to go out fishing on a warm afternoon.

Drew: Works as advertised. First time fishing with my 6 yr old son and caught 1lb largemouth bass, and a beautiful sunfish. =) Comes with everything you need, simple tacklebox, and the telescoping pole, the ability to compact it is nice when boating/traveling. My son loves using the net to catch minnows. I like this pole over the smaller one i got for my 3 year old, as it is sturdier. You will probably need to adjust the drag depending on fish size.
