Shakespeare UGLYJRGCBO Ugly Stik Jr. Fishing Rod and Spincast Reel Combo, Green, 3 Feet 8 Inches, Ultra Light Power

I give this a 2 only because the rod seems decent. I bought 2 of these for my sons. The reels are terrible. What a waste of money and resources making them. Neither would spool out when casting. They would get caught up inside. So I put heavier spoons on to get the weight of the lure to pull line. That worked for a while. Anytime we caught fish the line snapped so I put new line on both reels. Then these reels seemed to cast better and the line didn’t break however they birdsnest inside every 5th cast or so. Finally had enough of taking these apart and replaced them with open face reels. My boys asked me as we were tossing them in the garbage. “Don’t you feel bad throwing those away?” I said “Yes but I will feel much better not having to deal with all the issues they cause us out on the lake”.

This is the second pole we bought. Very disappointed this time! Looked like it had sat in a garage & been walked & possibly even driven over. Packaging was dirty, broken & even had a couple smashed dead bugs in the side of it! Shame on me for assuming it would be fine & not opening the box ahead of the birthday to check. So it was grandson’s birthday party day, when grandpa always gives them their first fishing pole. We always give good Ugly Stiks & were really happy when we found these junior sets instead of what we put together, in the past. Not very happy today!! He took the pole, after we wiped it up, the best we could. If the rod is broken it will come home with him! But what a horrible looking gift! Not sure I’ll order another 1 of these again, even though the first 1 was perfect.Additional note: Rod tip was broken. Whole set up had to be returned through Amazon for credit, so just kept that pole & new pole. In the end we were glad we did because the reel broke on our other granddaughters her second time out this spring. Rods are nice, reels are cheaply made! We fixed her reel with the reel off the broken pole. NO MORE UGLY STICK JR COMBOS FOR OUR GRANDKIDS! We will go back to the short, lightweight regular ugly stick & put a good quality enclosed reel on it for them to learn with!
