This is a great little set and all we needed to get started. Nice quality and smooth set-up. Had to look elsewhere for guidance on which line to use but it came with just the right lines.
Heidi was prompt and diligent in ensuring the proper address was input. Package arrived on time and was carefully packaged. Hope to tempt some smallies, white bass, largemouth and whatever grabs a popper or streamer.
I gave these rods to a casting instructor to give to his students and had nothing of the sort even tough they lived on an Oregon premium steelhead river. I have not seen the rods but was told they were good rods.
These are the perfect rod for your youngster to get started with that is actually castable for their body size, they also make a great small stream rod for any angler. The quality for the price really impressed me.
