PLUSINNO Fishing Rod and Reel Combos - Carbon Fiber Telescopic Fishing Pole - Spinning Reel 12 +1 Shielded Bearings Stainless Steel BB

Despite the hate telescopic rods get, this one is surprisingly solid. Super convenient to toss in a bag and go—perfect for quick trips. Casting distance is better than expected, though the handle is a bit short for my liking. The reel was easy to spool and has worked well so far. No saltwater issues yet, but I’ve only had it a couple months. The included gear isn’t ideal for my style (shore fishing reefs in Oahu), but the small tackle case is useful. I’ve caught a good variety of fish with it already, so it definitely gets the job done. Downsides: lining up the guides takes a little effort, and threading the line can be annoying in the wind. Overall: very solid combo if you want something portable and affordable.

I got the 8 ft no lures or line just rod and reel and i opened it and first off, it is a little insane on how long it gets in comparison to how long its i shrunk down. If you handed me a nice PENN reel and then handed me that i wouldnt tell much difference. ths rod is an amazing travel rod and is small enough where it can fit in my carry on. this thing reels like butter and is also an absolute tank. the handle dosent have any play when you reel it backwards when its on anti-reverse. great drag too. i will say i dont love the fact that it is so hard to get the eyes linedup strsight because it is telesopic, but thats about the only thing i dont love about it. for 32 bucks this was a huge win. i cant wait to try it out.

First off, I really like the reel. Very smooth in operation and seems to be well made of quality materials. The telescoping rod makes it VERY easy to transport, especially in a packed car for vacation. You can bring the rod anywhere, and I have it as a backup/extra rod whenever I go fishing. It's also versatile enough for freshwater or saltwater fishing. What makes this less than a 5 star product in my opinion is I have some concerns about durability. The rod itself seems strong and sturdy enough even though it telescopes, but the eyelets specifically seem a bit flimsy and bend fairly easily. I haven't caught anything big enough yet to really test their strength but I could see these snapping over time with enough use. Maybe I'll be proven wrong but it's definitely my biggest hesitation with the rod. It's a shame because, outside of that, I'm impressed with what Plussino has done with this rod.

I'm not an avid fisherman, but my son got into it so I did too. I started with this rod and reel combo and it ended up being a far more solid choice than I'd expected. I'm told by my avid fishing buddies that the real probably won't be great for big fish, but since I don't know any better, I just use it, catch fish, hang out with my son, and rarely have a technical issue to deal with, it just works as it should. The reel casts smoothly, and while I could probably get a little more distance with a higher end reel, I still seem to be catching fish, so... I'm good, thanks. The rod collapses down well, is durable, and I've had no issues with it at all, and check out the flex it had in my image, it's bendy but strong. It works, it's a great deal for entry level fishing enthusiasts, and I think there's plenty of room to grow before considering the reel too beginner someday. It was a good purchase.

Bought this as a birthday gift for my 10-year-old son and he absolutely loved it! The kit comes with everything you need to start fishing right away, and the carrying case makes it easy to keep everything organized. The rod feels sturdy and the reel works smoothly. Perfect starter set for young anglers.

Plusinno spinning reel / collapsible 8' rod. This rod and reel are nicely made. The reel looks very durable and constructed of mostly metal parts with very little plastic, namely the drag knob, the knurled crank arm holding bolt head, and maybe a couple of appearance-related parts. The spool is metal and the fit and finish are pretty much perfect from what I see. No burrs, abrasions, or blemishes. The spool felt a little tight prior to adding line, but after adding line and casting a few times, it smoothed right out. The drag works great and is easy to adjust even with a fish on the line. I spooled mine up with about a 100 yds of 15 lb braid with a 6' 8 lb fluorocarbon leader. As for the 2.4 meter collapsible rod – just like the reel, this rod looks and feels great. Each carbon fiber blank (or tube section in this case) is silky smooth and without blemish. The guides are nice and fitted into a metal ring that also makes up the 'joint' that cinches each section when extended. All-in-all a pretty impressive rod for a very small price. The collapsed length of this 2.4 meter is 26 1/4” and extended it is just at 95 1'2”. The sections are loose when collapsed and tighten only when about 90 % extended. A little twist of each section at the end to completely extend and align the guides is all it takes. To collapse the same action in reverse – twist slightly as you are sinking one section in to the next. First casts with the very light tackle I was using felt a little strange to me since this is nearly 8' long, fairly heavy, and with heavy action with most of the flex when casting pretty close to the end. This is compared to the 6 ½' ultra-light rod or 7' medium action rod that I am accustomed to using in the trout pond where I decided to first try this Plusinno rod/reel. Once I upped the weight of my tackle the Plusinno collapsible rod felt much better. The rod is printed with “Maction” which I assume indicates medium action, but in my opinion this is a fast action rod. It has a fighting butt and I couldn't imagine casting this without using a two handed grip. I used it for a little while casting out a slip-sinker rig and caught my 6 trout limit at the pond. I typically break down my rods when not at the water just to keep the lines from multiple rods tangling the rods into a mess. This collapsible rod makes that job a lot easier and quicker. Since it is so short when collapsed, I have been leaving 1 or 2 of the bottom sections extended just to handle the line from hook to sinker or whatever and the sections stay extended even with pressure from the drag to keep the line taut. My only reservation is that I chose a rod that was too long for my light tackle uses. At the price point, it would not be unreasonable to buy another shorter one. All-in-all this is a real bargain!

I really fell in love with the convenience of the telescopic rod being so portable and the smoothness of the reel. However, I was surprised and disappointed on the 8th day of using rod it snapped on me while casting.

Se ve de buena calidad y materia, aún falta probar el funcionamiento

Zwei tolle schnell einsatzbereite Angeln !!!!

The handle is not comfortable.

“It’s not comparable to the fishing rods available in the market. The reel can’t properly align the line, and the line keeps tangling. When reeling in, the reel makes noise, and I’m not sure why so many people have given it high ratings. Maybe there’s an issue elsewhere. The handle is also tiring to use.”
