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

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 originally bought this for a weekend trip where I didn’t have room for my other rods. First today there, I took out this rod and to my surprise it was a super smooth cast. The sensitivity of the rod is actually very nice given that it’s a telescopic rod. I love the color of it; it looks more expensive than it is. Would definitely recommend getting this rod and reel combo to keep in your car or truck. Packs up and transports well!Not to mention, my first cast of the line, I got a largemouth. Can’t beat that!

It was working good for a few days, got some fish. Next time i went to use it i casted and the handle for the reel flew into the lake. Its useless now until a buy a new reel. All in all tho it does work pretty good. Just make sure you keep checking that reel handle.

I’m just a causal fisher, my wife broke my old pole in the car door so when I was shopping for new ones a collapsible one seemed perfect to avoid that again, I can also take it on my motorcycle with me. It’s strong and kind of reminds me of a lightsaber from Jedi Fallen Order which is cool. Mine was extremely long when extended, like 8ft or more but that was on me I didn’t read the selection. Even at a silly length it’s done me well. I ordered a solo pole because I had my own reel and it fit fine. It’s super light weight but still strong. My only gripe is that some of the rod sections don’t hold very well when collapses, they will spin around or extend our easily. I will update it when I get a chance to take it sea fishing but so far I’ve got a pretty big freshwater bass with it.

My wife bought this for one of our last backpacking trips. We ended up catching a handful of fish with it in mountain lakes.The poles slight down into itself, and it is very compact. We set it all up and kept the reel attached but just packed the poles down when moving. It fits in a side pocket with no issues.My only "gripe" is that when you cast out and want to snap the reel shut, it sometimes takes some force on the reel handle to snap it shut. I'm by no means a super experienced fisherman- I have mostly done ocean surf and deep sea fishing with rods and reels that my family had- but I noticed it felt hard to snap it shut. Not a huge deal at all for something like this off of Amazon, so I don't consider it a con. But if you're a hardcore fisherman, you might notice it and should probably be looking at something more expensive. Or, you could just replace the reel on it I guess.Either way, this is a great rod and compact and portable, perfect for someone looking for a portable rig or going hiking or backpacking.

I had a chance to fish the 2.1M setup today. I was a bit surprised to see that the reel recommends line 8lb or heavier -- that didn't jive with the 6lb info on the product description page. The rod is very stiff, I would say fast action not medium. The rod label says it's for 1/4oz lures or larger, and casting my 1/8oz lures felt like using a broomstick.On the other hand, the reel feels very nice! Smooth, plenty of engagement, and I like the ability to collapse the handle for travel.I don't think I'll use the rod, though the size of it is perfect, it's just too stiff for my fishing. I'll keep it because of the reel though, and use that on a different rod.

Works great for backpacking, good quality and ease of use and setup.

A very good fishing rod for the price. However, over time parts of the fiberglass have torn off. My son enjoys the rod and the fact that it collapses into a small rod makes transporting it a breeze. He definitely recommends it due to price and ease of transport.

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

Zwei tolle schnell einsatzbereite Angeln !!!!

“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.”

El palo . Oh los anzuelos.Gracias. Feliz 2021.
