Fishing Rod, 6.9ft Telescopic Fishing Rod and Reel Combo with Fishing Pliers and Lip Gripper Fishing Equipment, 5.2:1 Pre-Loaded Spinning Reel Combo Set Fishing Pole

Good deal, quality for the price and portability

I really like this rod and reel. It's really nice to be able to collapse the rod and take it with you anywhere. With the price of things today, it's a great value that works well.

This combo set is an inexpensive entry level rod and reel which on a scale of 1-10 as compared to the worse and best that is available would rate about a 5. But again it is not fair to rate it against the expensive high end rod and reels so I will give my review comparing it to others in the same price range and category which is why I am giving it 4 stars.Review:1. the rod telescopes from a compact 17" to a full length 6.9 ft pole. as with all poles the more sections the pole has the more impact it has on the overall functioning of the pole so there is all ways a trade off between functionality and convenience. while this pole extends and I had no problem with the sections collapsing while in use when collapsed all the way down there is no friction to keep them from sliding back out so they include a plastic cap that fits over the pole end to keep it in place when it is collapsed. while this works well I would have preferred that they pole had some internal hold to it like most of the other telescopic rods have ,2. The Reel is light and of reasonable quality for the price and has a nice feature that with a push of a button the handle will fold flat against the real which is far better than most I have used where you have to unscrew the handle a little in order for it to rotate flat. This design is much better. It comes pre loaded with line but the line is way to thick and stiff for the reel and should be replaced with a lighter weight line maybe a 6lb or 8lb max of a limper line that would have less memory.3. The rod and reel does cast well. I tried it with both 1/4oz and 1/8 oz weight and even with the heavy line that it comes with it cast very well and I would expect with the proper line it would do even better4. it comes with several accessories. The case is nice in that it will contain your pole, reel and some gear in a nice compact travel case that you can easily keep in the trunk of your car or even suitcase incase you come upon a fishing spot during your travels. It comes with a small assortment of lures that are very basic and while they might catch a fish they are lower quality. The fish grabber while is surprisingly good and should work fine, the multi purpose pliers is all but useless and poor qualityConclusion:This is a fairly good inexpensive basic travel rod and reel set. It would be a good entry level rod and reel or an extra rod and reel to keep in your car.

This Tripquips Fishing Rod and Reel combo is surprisingly good for the price! The telescoping rod and reel combo works great and would be perfect for fishing in a local pond. This kit also includes a lot of other things to get you started with fishing as a hobby. You get a bag to carry your rod in, fishing grippers, pliers, and some lures and hooks. This is really all you need to go out and do a little fishing. It would also be a great kit to keep in your trunk if you wanted to stop and fish somewhere. Overall, really nice kit and very happy with it!

Came faulty

Nice but wouldn't stay open or straight.

This portable fishing set is great! It has the pole, reel, pliers, fish grabber and more even down to lures and a carrying/storage case! Great find!

The line that comes with the rod and reel is your standard bad fishing line. So I can't fault the company for that, but the rod itself was no problem at all and the reel was nice too. I'm not a regular fisher, so my opinion on this isn't the most valuable, but I after I replace the line on this I'm going to take it back out and see how it does.
