Quick take
A lightweight 6-foot fiberglass rod with spinning reel and EVA foam handle, pre-spooled and sized for children learning to fish.
This is a 6-foot fiberglass spinning combo sized for young anglers just starting out. The rod breaks down for easy carrying, and the EVA foam handle gives small hands a secure grip. The ambidextrous 5.2:1 aluminum reel comes spooled with 185 yards of 10 lb monofilament, so it is ready for a pond or lake outing with bass, trout, sunfish or catfish.
