Steinhauser Tangle-Free Pocket Combo Telescoping Fishing Pole | Adjustable Lightweight Rod and Reel | 4.1:1 Gear Ratio | Pre-Spooled 6-lb Line | Pink

My cat sitter recommended this to play with my cats--it's way better than the little short-string fishing poles you get for about as much money at a "big box" or pet store. Since it's collapsible I can keep it nearby and it keeps them entertained longer than the pet store poles since they can run all the way across the room to where I cast their "worm" or "fish." The line seems way too thin to catch an actual fish, however unless it's between a minnow and a perch. It lasted a long time before popping even though one of my two cats likes to chew on the line. It took me a while to re-thread it because the weight kept getting stuck between the sections of the pole and wouldn't fall all the way down.

Bought for my daughter, 8. Great for her as the line does not get tangled around the pole. I have started using it for shore fishing with a lot of overhang from trees. Short pole allows for getting to places a longer pole would get hung up in. I would recommend adding a large needle and thread to your tackle. If the line breaks and comes out of the pole, it is very difficult to re-thread through the pole. If you have a large sewing needle and thread it's much easier to get the line through the pole and start fishing again. The reel is pretty cheap. I think I'll be replacing it fairly soon.

Very cool design and very easy to use. Great for adults and my grandkids like them also.

Good price Excellent quality. Perfect for a little girl.

Great rod for the price. Love the size.

This is great to stash in the car and fish right off the side of the boat at the lake. Works great for catching crappies! Nice little pole, would be awesome for a kid.

Went fishing off the dock and snapped in half first time i used it. Fish wasn’t bigger than 6” at best. Definitely not worth the money.

I can’t comment yet because we have not used the pole yet. But what I already like is it is compact. Will update when we get back from Lake Havasu. I bought 4 of these poles 2 blue and 2 pink for my grandkids. Looks easy to handle so far. I give it 5 stars.
