Zebco Z-Cast Casting Fishing Rod,

I love Zebco and how they make fishing simple and fun for novice anglers. I have much better rods, but this little gem is never embarrassing and I find I use my Zebcos more than the "good" stuff. The beauty of this rod is obviously the portability. I thought there would be a substantial sacrifice in action, etc. Not so. This economical little wonder is a bundle of fun and doesn't disappoint. I never feel somehow cheated by the economy of this rod: it's durable enough to withstand reasonable abuse, can hide in a car, has a quality build for this price point, and has decent performance. The rod end cover works well for me too. I put a new Zebco 404 on this rod and for well under $40, I have a great little combo suitable for almost any age.

I love pan fishing. Although I do everything too. I like telescoping rods too, so I can grab and go. I also have to eagle claw rod (changed out the reel of course) and by comparison this zebco is a bit stiffer, which is a good thing since telescoping rods are notoriously flexible. I threw my zebco 33 custom z on it (though I plan on changing that out for a different spincaster, but havent made up my mind) and it worked great. I have several rods and reels for certain scenarios. When I am alone, bank fishing, you can't go wrong with this guy here. I throw on a swivel and remove the lure when putting it away and I carry it in my tackle bag. My whole setup is so grab and go -- which is why I love this reel. It's *not* the best rod you will ever have as far as sheer quality, but it might be the best in so far as portability and versatility. Can totally catch bass and even northern (pulled this guy up from a bridge! The pole was bending so bad and I was worried she would break but she held it together). All in all -- buying this you can be sure you are getting value for your money. If you match colors like I do, it looks pretty good too. But this is not something for extreme fishing like tournament bass fishing or trophy fish. If you love pan fishing and maybe some bass, this is perfect. It can do more than that, but it's pretty rough on it lol.

I purchased this rod for my oldest grandchild who loves to fish for bass at our local lake. When he got it, his spinning reel wasn't a good match, so he put on another reel that he has. He told me this rod balances well in the hand and he loves the flexibility and sturdiness. He is going to try it next week and give me a fisihing report.

Ordered two Zebco Z-CAST Casting or Spincast Rod 5ft 6in rods. I extended both of them fully then waved/wiggled them around. One pole immediately snapped at the second segment from the top of the pole. Didn't even snap at the joint. I waved the other pole around even more vigorously and it performed fine. It seems like the first pole has some sort of defect in the construction. Will update when receiving a replacement. EDIT: Received a replacement within a week and it works fine with basic stress testing performed. 2 stars to 4 stars. Will possibly bump to 5 stars later if they perform well while actually fishing. SECOND EDIT: Went fishing this past summer and worked fine while casting and catching weeds. No fish caught unfortunately. Bumped to five stars.

Awesome little rod

Should have bought these years ago…. They break down easily and if you remain vigilant about keeping the cap for the top you shouldn’t have any issues with this telescopic rod… I purchased a separate Zebco 404 Reel and it fit with no issues whatsoever-so-ever. The 404 is the only reel I’ve ever used my entire life and I’ve been fishing since I was 4 years old (now 60) so I’d say I’ve had some experience with the Zebco brand. All my Grandchildren (10) have Zebco 404’s with the Zebco rods - After purchasing this rod for myself and my husband, I will be getting more for the Grandkids… So much easier than bending a bunch of poles to fit in the vehicle when going fishing and getting lines tangled. Keep in mind that if you use a bobber (which I do not) you’ll need to remove it to get the rod collapsed all the way…. It’s a straight forward setup and anyone that has reviewed this product and said they had issues with it - That’s your own fault…. Take care of your stuff and you’ll have it for a very long time - I still have my very first Zebco rod and reel from childhood….. I wanted this collapsible rod for carrying on the 4-wheeler and having on hand when spotting a new prospect fishing hole while out riding - have a small tackle box I take as well and worms - just do a little digging around the creek bed and you’ll find bait…. Happy with this purchase and will be purchasing additional units for the Grandkids… Zebco has always been my go-to for rods and reels and nobody will ever convince me otherwise…..

Bought this telescopic fishing pole on September 20. The tip snapped the first time it was used. I returned it right away and was told I’d get an email with an estimated delivery date for the replacement. It is now October 19, nearly two months later, and still nothing. No updates, no way to contact the company, and no replacement in sight. I wish I had just asked for a refund. Poor quality and zero customer service.

Does exactly what you think. Great for keeping the trunk of a car. Obviously it’s not a professional rod by any means, but for its intended use case it does very well.

Very sturdy. Solid. It is rigid and sensitive enough for me. It is a fiber glass rod, and that's why it is cheap. But I don't care. It will last years. I use it in my Kayak mostly and for brook trout and panfish. It can handle a small mouth bass also or anything less than 5 pounds. Great rod. I like it.

Very good spincast rod.I'm happy with the purchase.

Ich bin absolut zufrieden mit dieser Angelroute! Sie ist kompakt und superleicht, perfekt für unterwegs oder spontane Angelausflüge. Trotz des geringen Gewichts liegt sie stabil in der Hand und macht einen hochwertigen Eindruck. Der Versand war blitzschnell – schon nach wenigen Tagen war sie da. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das Top Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis: Für wenig Geld bekommt man hier richtig gute Qualität. Klare Kaufempfehlung für alle, die eine zuverlässige, leichte und preiswerte Angelroute suchen!

القضبة مستخدمة مسبقا مكسورة وفي مقبضها اثار عميقة جراء الاستخدام . ناهيك عن كونها لعبة للاطفال فعليا نظرا للمواد الرديئة التي صنعت منها ..

Not convinced this rod will last long, but the price compensates for that. Very light and compact, great for a cheap and easy, ready to use set up on the go.
