A complete beginner spincast combo with fiberglass rod, built-in bite alert, and tackle kit for immediate fishing.
This Zebco 404 is a ready-to-fish spincast combo pairing a 5'6" two-piece medium-power rod with a size 40 reel. It comes pre-spooled with 15-pound line and includes a 28-piece tackle kit, so a first-timer can head to the water without shopping for extras.
