Don't purchase.
Used three times since purchased and no longer reels. Very cheaply made. Of course, it was only 10 bucks, but still.

    good for kids
    i try to just buy stuff made in America, but it's hard to find sometimes. these are made in china ,but pretty good rod and reel combos, needed some for the grandkids when they come out and want to fish. so far they have worked great and haven't had any problems with them, bought 4 at first to try out.

    BEST FISHING ROD!! This fishing rod is the best thing ever, there's a button to launch the hook out and a quick reel in. It's so easy to put together and to hook up. It's small and easy to store. I bought 2 because of how convenient it is

    $10 Rod %26 Reel to Avoid
    I Only Recieved 1/2 of the rod %26 reel which arrived in a plastic bag without any instructions. After Reading more Reviews, it seems there are many reports of missing/broken parts, %26 numerous Reel issues. I have opted to return for a refund. I am Very Disapointed with this purchase %26 lack of quaility control.

    The Walmart driver saved the day
    I'm only giving it a 5 because my delivery guy Anthony was awesome. I ordered 3 fishing rods 1 blue and 2 red well on the delivery day I only received the blue one i had to call customer service to see what happened to the red ones. I was told i could wait until they eventually got delivered or I could cancel them and place another order, so I chose to cancel and reorder well when Anthony delivered he only had 1 red one and it was broken so he called whoever he needed to call but they told him that I had to do the same thing that I already did that morning with canceling and reordering so Anthony called someone at the store he works out of to see if they had anymore and they didn't have any red ones but they did have the blue ones so I just chose the blue ones and he went back to the store and brought them back to me. He was very helpful and nice.

    Not worth $5
    Very cheaply made but only $10. I bought three and 2 did not work. I took one apart to try and fix it. Was not worth fixing but was not fixable. I would be surprised if a working one would last 3 fishing trips if you actually caught fish with it. Keep rod and throw the reel away. You have a $10 rod!

    First Rod and Reel
    Bought this for my great granddaughters. We are a fishing family and it's time to teach the youngest to love to fish. They love the color and we love the dependability of Zebco.

    Misleading description
    The item was listed as a combo, but we only received the fishing pole. No reel or fishing line was included. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

    My little girl loves it!
    I bought this for my little girl, and she loves it. It is pink and can tackle decent-sized spotted bass with no issues. It's easy for her to handle and reel the fish in, plus it was inexpensive but works great! Thanks, Zebco and Walmart, for offering this fishing combo. I'd certainly buy it again if i needed another one.

    Cheap junk
    Zebco was top notch when I was a kid, so I trusted the name in buying this for my kid. Big mistake. Delivery was fine and quick, product in good shape. Kid played with it a little inside, getting a feel for letting the line out and reeling back. After about 3 times, it just stopped reeling. Well, it reeled, but line didn't moved. Do yourself a favor and avoid. Grab a Shakespeare spinner, they're about the same price, maybe a hair higher, and way, way better built.

    History Does Not Lie
    According to Zebco this Slingshot contains the current model of the Zebco 202 reel. Ok, for the fun of it I just took the Vintage cover off of a Made in the USA Zebco that is over 40 years old and screwed it on to the new one. It like it was made for it! The interior metal over the spool looks the same as the new one. The single handle looks better on the new one. Growing up with these Zebco 202s, from the late 60s, I know I can cast this new reel a long, long ways! My brother has the ones we used mostly in the 70s, hard plastic, yet still going. Actually, I have only used the spinning reel from the Slingshot line, and I could cast that as far as the Zebco Roam that is based on the components from the Zebco 33. That is just about the reel, yet the Rod is decent. The fact, really a fact, is you cannot beat this Combo for the price anyplace. I bought 4 of them, when one breaks I will go to the next one. If the reel breaks I will throw the reel away and simply put on one of my better reels I own. I have already given it away though! These rods and reels will last longer than I will be alive. My great grandson, or my brother, or sisters, will be selling this on Ebay for more than I am buying it for from Walmart!

    Rod perfect Reel not so.
    Bought 2. One almost ever time you cast you have to push the release button twice it it will stop line. will probably move to a better reel. Rod works perfect. It is a light to medium action. A fish larger then 8-10lbs you are pushing it.

    GREAT
    THIS ARRIVED THE SAME DAY I ORDRED IT. I WAS SO AMAZED. MY GRANDCHILD IS 5 AND HE JUST PICKED UP THE HOBBY OF FISHING WITH HIS GRANDFATHER. LET ME SAY HE LOVES HIS FISHING ROD. I ONLY GAVE IT A 4 STAR BECAUSE IM NOT SURE HOW LONG WILL IT LAST. BUT IT DOES LOOK STRONG AND A GREAT COLOR TOO. LETS HOPE IT LAST
