The rod looks and has good action.
The Reel on the other hand was a disappointment.

So convenient to take out the car and start fishing. Storage case keeps everything in its place. You can get ready to fish in record time and if on a tight schedule easy to put a

It does not pack into the case as well as other rods I have owned but the case does offer a lot of room. The rod just does not pack well. Regardless, once assembled, solid rod, goo

Disappointed
Three stars is a bit generous. I'd have to call it a nice attempt with a clumsy blank. Butt heavy, not delicate. The reel is worthless. Purchased on a whim due to "easy returns

Good travel rod
It puts together easily. Feels very lightweight so think of it as small catch rod. It has statement on it that it has lead in it. Made in China.

I purchase this travel rod to use during my Maine vacation. We normally fly in and have a limited space to bring items such as a fishing rod. This is a light weight rod that I use

Perfect gift for a newbie, and for a city dweller who flies to get to a weekend nature fix.

Spin rod
This rod was a Christmas gift for my grandson who can spend all day fishing. He was fascinated with it, his dad thought it looked like a good rod. He hasn’t had a chance to use it

Quest Spin Rod and Reel package
love it...it's a little light, but good for a beginner. i hope it holds up over the long term, which is why it gets a four. great with a case to protect the rod.

Poor rod construction.
On the first cast the fish snapped the rod in half and then the line broke. Very poorly built rod. I would like a refund.

Do not fish a lot but when I want to go, I go. This rod, reel and case are the handiest answer for me. Stays out of the way when not being used and very little make-ready when I
