Quick take
A starter combo with a foldable rod, spinning reel and a plastic tackle box filled with basic lures and terminal tackle.
This is a telescopic spinning combo that collapses for travel, pairing a roughly 6.9 foot carbon fiber rod with a 5.5:1 spinning reel. The kit also brings braided line, lures, hooks, pliers, a lip gripper, a line spooler and a carry bag. It suits a beginner who wants to start on bass, trout or panfish with everything in one bag.
