5’6" Ike Dude Youth Fishing Rod and Reel Spincast Combo, 2-Piece Rod, Size 6 Reel, Right Handle Position,White

Great little rod n reel combo! Bought it for my 4 year old grandson and he casts it super easy. Breaks down easily into two pieces for better traveling. Definitely recommend and I love the Abu Garcia line as a whole.

Bought for my grandson that 7 years old. This was perfect and it was good quality. I went ahead and bought another one for my other grandson.

First day of fishing: I like the ABU Garcia brand (even thought most are not made in Switzerland anymore). They are still smooth and easy to operate. So far - no problems. Caught 23, 1+lb trout with the two from an 11 and 9 yo. I think even the 6yo caught 3 on one of them. Perfect size for kids. Lots of fun for adults who want to keep it simple. Light, smooth, and easy to transport at their size. I used the factory fishing line so far just to see what was on there...not problems at all. My go to for the not-so-veteran fisherman and guaranteed fun! Second Time Fishing: Used by an adult novice angler. Line on both reels I bought has to be replace - very curly already. Do fine with ~1 lb rainbow trout. My friend snagged a ~2.5 salmon using one of these combos and the rod tip broke at the second rod guide line at the tip. Lost the fish and was a bit embarrassing. Had it repaired for 5Euro, but now it's a shorter shorty. Will still be used by the kids for small trout/fish, but I wouldn't count on it for serious fishing of course. The fishing line turned out to be junk. Held strong, but was very curly from memory. I MAY just run the line to casting length and pull it tight to see if it will hold straight, but fishing with novice anglers, I was afraid the line would get tangled.

Originally thought this was a good rod the first two times we went out last year. This year we have gone weekly and this rod has only been along for 7 trips because the tip has broken three times and the last time out the bail broke off completely.

This is a very nice step up from all the other kids rods I've seen or had. My 5 year old daughter can handle this pretty well and cast it. The little Mickey mouse rod she had last year was good for little fish, but we got into some 4lb bass and the reel couldn't handle them and broke. This Abu Ike spincast has held up well so far and has had a few good size bass on it. The reel works well, but is not smooth and very noisy. We've had a couple tangles so far, but they've been pretty easy to handle after popping off the cover. I don't know what the ratio is, but it's a very slow retrieve, which may be a good thing for kids. For $30, I think it's a nice setup and would probably be good for the 5-8 year old range. I do wish the reel was a little smoother though. That's my only complaint.

good product

I baught more than one of these I put a different reel on it the real isn't the best but I've got hundreds of bass on this rod every year for years...

A pretty good rod and reel for kids or adults that want a simple push button reel. The reel that came on mine would not cast at first and I needed to take it apart to align the gears better.

Seens to be great rod combo but the rod was broken in the package.

Great beginner rod for kids
