G Ganen 38inch Mini Portable Pocket Aluminum Alloy Fishing Rod Pen Great Gift (Blue)

Nice fishing pole. Not great quality but I expected that as it was cheap to purchase. Fun for little kids to catch little fish.

I hate to give bad reviews and really wanted to like these. I got 3. Thought my uncle would like one to carry in his glove box and I wanted one for my kayak. One extra never hurts. We can't get them put together. All the videos on assembly show the reel being set in and secured with a threaded ring that screws down to hold it tight. There is no such part included. There is a very thin ring...too narrow for threads, but it does not secure the reel. I think it would be an nice little combo for small spaces or an unplanned chance to fish. Parts seem solid. If only I could put it together.

The fishing pole was fairly decent. The reel is really cheap and feels cheap. There is no casting button. To cast let go of the handle. Then you have to hold onto the handle to prevent more line from coming out.

Believe it or not, this is actually a practical, useful piece of gear. The rod has great "bend ability" and the reel is smooth and sturdy. Of course, this is not the rig if you are deep sea fishing for Marlin, but greatto have in your glove compartment if you want to toss a line in a creek or pond.

The media could not be loaded. Not very well made. It came with one of the eyelets loose. Another came loose. Spent the first day gluing it back together. Have not yet gone fishing with it. It's a toy from China.

Both the rod and reel is very glimsy. The reel moves side to side no matter how much you tighten the bolts. You can only use the reel it comes with. Not allowed to return unit for any reason, why?

Does not work. I would return but Didn't use right away And I think its too late. Cute idea... Got it for hiking. Doesn't cast at all. Tried everything. U could maybe drop it into the water from a boat but obviously if I need a compact reel I'm not packing a boat. Lol. I bought one at Wal-Mart after that shrinks to 12 inches and works great. Don't waste money on this one.

Havn't used it yet but looks really nice. I'm sure it will do just fine. I plan to put it in my emergency evac kit after I gather up some hooks and bait to go with it. Its very small and light weight.
