Quick take
A 78-inch collapsible fiberglass spinning combo with EVA foam handle, pre-spooled with 6 lb line and able to switch hand orientation.
This Wakeman Strike Series is a two-piece collapsible spinning combo built on a fiberglass medium-power rod about 6.5 feet long, with a split EVA foam grip. The reel arrives spooled with 250 yards of 6 lb monofilament and has a 5.2:1 gear ratio, an adjustable drag and a handle that switches to either side. It suits a first-timer or a casual angler who wants a ready-to-fish outfit that packs down small for lake trips after walleye, bass or trout.
