Customer Reviews

Huge disappointment
I wonder how many people actually catch fish with this rod. We bought two of these at 30 bucks a pop. We have twin sons and they were so excited to use these. They shoot fine (about 15 feet...not 30) but the problem is with the capsule (bobber) that holds your bait. It tends to not release the hook that holds the bait. You aren't gonna catch much of anything if your hook is still inside the bobber. I was discussing the rod with a friend and she said her daughters did the same thing. Its a great idea, but it just doesn't work for some reason. I think we will be returning these and getting them a plain old fishing rod. We were out for over 2 hours and no bites. Maybe because they didn't have anything to bite into.

Broken in no time
I bought this for my grandson. It took him about three minutes after receiving this to have a problem with the release latch. I was with him and saw he did nothing more then cast and retreive. I think it is a waste of money.

Not what it's cracked up to be
I bought this at Wal-Mart for my 4-year-old who LOVES to fish. It's true what the package says and that it's not for children under 8. As hard as he tried he was not able to cast it himself. It requires quite a bit of strength and coordination in order to cast it. And it's heavier than a normal fishing rod so that made it more difficult for him. I still thought I'd hold on to it for a while to give him some time and maybe he'd get better at it but I didn't get the chance. Only after 6-7 casts the darn thing broke. I didn't even ask my husband to see if he could fix it. Back to the store it went; we'll stick to a regular pole and just keep doing the casting for him.
