PLUSINNOTelescopic Fishing Rod and Reel Combos Full Kit, Carbon Fiber Fishing Pole, 12 +1 Shielded Bearings Stainless Steel BB Spinning Reel

not a bad starter kit but they dont have any drop weight at all so good luck if your trying to fish with a weight, the provided ones are too confusing. N float/bobber either. Wish they also had some fishing leads included so you don't have to end up tying everything all the time. meh.

Light weight and very good quality

Caught a big Freshwater Drum! Product is of high quality, everything works well, the fishing line is strong and robust, the fish that I caught was pretty big/heavy and the line didn't break. Grateful for the purchase. The only minor issue is that the way the compressed rod fits in the case needs a bit of fidgeting-about, but eventually it all fits back in again.

If you are looking for a 8ft+ rod, that can fit into a 16.5" space, then this kit is well worth looking at.ROD:There does not seem to be a listed rating, but I'd put this rod at a medium power, fast action - the tip seems sensitive and at over 8ft long, I'm glad it collapses down to a very portable 16.5 inches. Unlike some other rods I've used, the Plusinno rod feels solid and well made - there doesn't seem to be any trade-offs in feel or any "glitches" from being made from 8 independent sliders, as opposed to a more typical (but less portable) two-piece. The sliders have a solid stop and firmly engage (friction) and I found no issues with the rod maintaining its extended form. The handle feels good in the hand with a black rubberized / foam grip - the typical alternative to cork, and the only issue I might have with the handle is that, for me anyway, the black foam / rubber could have extended further up the rod - say a total of 5 inches, rather than 3.25", but that was a minor gripe. One of the really nice features is that the reel collar, adjusting threads and rings / lock ring are all metal - see third picture. I recently bought a St Croix Legend Glass Spinning Rod ($260 just for the rod) and one of my gripes there is that the reel collars, threads and adjusting ring are plastic, and sort of cheap-feeling for a $260 rod, frankly the Plusinno reel hardware looks and feels much better. So...issues? A few - 1) Weight - this is not what I'd call a lightweight rod, but its not overly heavy and besides, you're going to get more weight with any telescoping rod. This rod (without reel) weighs in at 225 grams, as compared to my St Croix Legend Glass at 152 grams, and its noticeable. Granted the St Croix is a one-piece rod designed to be light-weight and costs $260....so, not exactly apples to apples, but if you are fishing all day, weight is something to pay attention to. 2- Balance - the balance point of the Plusinno is further forward than ideal, making it seem heavier in the hand, probably minor for an adult, but it could get taxing for a younger person, or if you're fishing all day. Overall though, it seems like a great rod, at a great price with some really nice features. In testing, I was able to cast 125 - 150ft using a .6oz lure (40 - 50 yards) which is pretty decent, especially since I'm not the best caster ever, and have been working from a boat more recently than the shore, but if you are a bank angler, 150ft is well within possibility.REEL:The reel is a 3000 size, 12+1 ball-bearing spinning reel with, surprisingly, all-metal construction (except drag adjuster). The reel is very smooth, and honestly very much better than I expected. In frame design it is similar to the current Shimano line and performed well in testing. One of the things I really appreciated was the folding crank arm (see 2nd picture) for a portable system this is a must, but honestly every reel should have this - I get so tired of having to remove the crank arms from reels when I want to store them in a box, or try fit multiple reels together -its a minor inconvenience granted, but Plusinno solves it with a very solid folding arm. Another feature I liked, and this is more common, is a switch that allows the reel to turn freely in either direction...sometimes its a nice option to have. Only quirk is that it seemed to take more effort than usual to get the bail to flip over, not a big deal, but something I noticed. Overall, excellent reel and far better than expected.LURES, ETCThe kit comes with a small selection of lures - lip-less rattling crankbait, some hooks, weights, swivels and a handful of orange plastics. Everything looks reasonable starter quality, and the crankbaits look pretty good. There are a few hooks that look good for perhaps a drop-shot and some ned-rigs as well. The only issue here is the 3lb test line you get......personally, I wouldn't throw any of the lures provided on 3lb test, if for no other reason than they are designed to catch fish that would test...pun intended....3lb test line. Really, the lures etc provided are more aligned to 6 - 8lb test (and the fish to match) than they are 3lb. Now I know plenty of anglers that like to use a really light leader, but 3lb for a lure designed for crappie and or bass, just seems too light for me - so I would upgrade the line to 6 - 8lb test. I actually loaded the reel with 10lb braid.Overall: I think this is a really great kit where you really are getting better quality, and more than you pay for. I would up-size the line and add a few lures and weights that are a better match, but otherwise its good as-is, and aside from perhaps being a tad heavy (though remember it is over 8ft and telescopic) this is a no-brainer purchase if you are looking for a portable rod and reel.
