Why are you talking crap about Zebco's? They're excellent reels - for $40, you get a quality reel with high action, bite sensor, and great drag control, already spooled with 8lb spider line fluorocarbon. I've caught all of my PBs on Zebco's: including monster steelheads, large and smallmouths, and a 4' channel cat.
@1205Lucy You're probably running it WAY too loose and wearing it out. I've horsed in steelheads, pike, walleye, catfish, etc. and in 33 years of fishing I've only busted the gears in my drag once or twice; I usually retire a reel once my line gets too short or the bail gets sticky - maybe once a year.
Up here in Gladstone Lake Michigan area, last summer I caught buckets of perch and a few rock bass and pike on the 10 dolla zebco…. Used those pre knotted hooks with a worm. Sometimes simplicity is key
From someone who bought this rod for its self, it’s not too shabby its fairly priced the lures are good and not cheaply made, it doesn’t line twist a lot, it can handle all the fish you need it for, it’s a all round normal rod with the added bonus of it being extremely portable. Hope this non-paid for review helps you If you were interested.
@@flamexflameplay8729 don’t put too much stress on the rod because it might break, this happened when I was on a snag and it snapped the rod should really be used for smaller fish
Just buy a 6ft 2 piece stalker rod with a 3lb test curve. Put 30lb braid on it it'll pull any fish In. This shite hook In to something big and it's bye bye
Even if it is a little gimmicky, keeping one one hand while hunting or camping, like when you're not legitimately going fishing, would be a great little thing to pack around. I have broke a couple good rods that I've had on hand when I've gone hunting...something pinching/falling/hitting it in the bed, catching it in tailgate ect ect. Something compact and out of the way is nifty
Is there anyway you could get just the rod and not the backpack combo? I was looking into this but couldn’t find anything with just the foldable rod and no stuff
I only have a zebco spinning rod but the drag is silent and its held up on about 7 fishing trips. I have only caught stocked rainbows on it but i have been trying for lmb and small catfish
If you have a zebco screeching sound you might want to grease and oil it. Or you could tighten the drag all the way and backreel your fish in, using the rod to pressure the fish instead of the reel. I guarantee that you never had so much fun in your life. And before you dismiss that idea, ask yourself, why is there an option?
As a BC resident I love Amundsen they make some of the highest quality mooching reels and I would trust them enough to produce other high quality products
While cool, I recently been more cautious with rods that's more than two sections. My first GX2 was three sections and broke it at the joint of the third section.
Hope you can make an update video soon-ish, ive been looking for a good pack down rod to put in my car so I can easily stop and hit some lakes if I'm feeling in the mood to fish.
I live in northern BC, iv never heard of this company.. the rod looks kinda skeptical but it might be worth a try. I do like the fact of how compact it is . Great video . Cheers !
There one like that called rig and ready it's got 3 type on one rod fly fishing spinning and baitcaster you can get reel with it aswell. Rig and ready 2000reel or you can use your own baitcaster reel .2000reel comes with it..
This may be perfect for me. Because of your videos I've been able to pick up fishing this year for the first time ever. Its so hard when I have no space driving my 92 miata lol but the folding kayak fits and if this is a good rod this will cut down on even more space and I won't have to keep a window open or have the top down to fit my pole lol.
The bass masters was won with a Zebco 808 even there not junk go figure . I've got big catfish and tiger musky with Zebco 888 Boss Hawg rod. But I like the cheeper stuff to use and see if is good enough for fishing 🎣 nice look rod 🧐 and looks good. Nice review
Imagine you go fishing and you caught a fish. The fish is big. And your fighting it. The your rod goes. *Click clack goes back to portable mode* and your like. Shiii.
The sensitivity on those kinds of rods (including telescoping rods) are pretty much crap due to the amount of joints. That kind of thing would be great when traveling on a plane tho.
“I found a company that makes fishing poles exactly the same way tons of other companies have been making fishing poles for 30 years and over spent on Chinese manufactured garbage than has been all over alibaba for 10 years” 😂
how much did you pay for that I got the zebco z spin for $10 at Walmart back in like 2017 maybe 2018 but it's a one piece telescopic it didn't have a rod on it so I put an old Shakespeare interpid on it I had

I want this for Christmas but like $150? I could get a Shimano baitcaster
Is it good for saltwater and do a durability test pls
@@siclopsanimations3882 I think the main purpose of this product is portability. Especially for those people that like hiking and then fishing.
The video being sponsored by the company makes you lose all credibility for the review man…
@@siclopsanimations3882 aaaapaaaaaaa\aa
"We found the company that sponsored us has good stuff, you should buy it!!!"
Yeah no #sponsored on shorts
I agree but this rod is genuinely good quality, just use it for small pond fish
@@Bravo-Tangoif it's only good for catching small fish, then it isn't a good quality rod.
@@gruntgamer4204ultralight rods just don’t exist? 😂 lmao what a dumb comment
@@eh1918 you need to learn how to read.
If he wasn’t sponsored, paid to say, it would definitely be hot garbage
I bought one it’s actually fine just like any other rod, but only problem is that it is lighter rod
It's not legal to not say that your are sponsored.
@@austindarvai lol because it's a 20 dollar rod and some generic lures sold with some trash bag for 100 dollaridoos. Wowee!
@@escapetherace1943 I wouldn’t agree I’d say the rod is worth around 40-50 $ I bring the rod trout fishing with me all the time and it brings them in!
@@escapetherace1943 if CZcams was able to send images I would send you some of the fish I caught on it.

I love zebcos. Fishing culture is so judgemental and pretentious in some places. Just have fun and catch fish.
Right, the fish cant tell the difference between a 1000$ reel and a 100$ one

If you were interested.
Any cons? Thinking of buying one so I can keep it in the trunk of my car and go fishing when I want
@@flamexflameplay8729 don’t put too much stress on the rod because it might break, this happened when I was on a snag and it snapped the rod should really be used for smaller fish
@@flamexflameplay8729 the best fishing on it would be large bluegill decent bass and trout
@@austindarvai thanks for the tips.
So it snapped on a snag…
Tent pole had entered the chat
That was my thought too
Id love to see you fight a 20pound carp with it😂
I stay with the telescopic travel rods
2 pieces rods for life
@@axe4770 yes, they are the best, but horrible if you travel, or have to fit it in a backpack, isnt it? 😉
Amazon ones go hard
It'd not meant for big fish your targeting a 5 pound bass at the heaviest
Did he say it’s for carp no stay mad🤫🤫🤫
This looks sick. I will definitely be bying one.
I’m thinking of getting one is it also good for saltwater
@@notgrass9533 it would probably be good if you were placed the line for a heavier line but yeah
Have you all ever fished for real fish 😆
Don’t waste your money just get an actual rod
Just buy a 6ft 2 piece stalker rod with a 3lb test curve. Put 30lb braid on it it'll pull any fish In. This shite hook In to something big and it's bye bye
“I was convinced it would be garbage”…so I bought 3 😂😂😂
It’s a paid promotion I believe
Haha that’s what I was thinking too

For $130 better not be garbage
bro sent that bluegill into orbit lmao
Zebco has caught more fish in a year than you will see in a lifetime kid!
Is there anyway you could get just the rod and not the backpack combo? I was looking into this but couldn’t find anything with just the foldable rod and no stuff
The price💀
Whats the price?
he got “1” in the mail i saw three😂😂
Pretty sweet, would be dope for mountain streams out here in the pnw
Forgive my stupidity but where is pnw if ya don't mind?
@@cloud4579 pacific northwest
Using a balisong too man's a man of class
This was THE number 1 returned rod in the fishing store I worked in
I only have a zebco spinning rod but the drag is silent and its held up on about 7 fishing trips. I have only caught stocked rainbows on it but i have been trying for lmb and small catfish
nice ,love it , can I order it to Croatia, and how much it is ?
Looks great I’m getting one today
I'd like to see a follow up and see if it works after it gets mud or shmoo in it. Fishing kit gets all kinds of dirty
Arthur Morgan has entered the chat
I bought one from goodwill that telescopes out like an old antenna. Works pretty good. I take it with me sometimes on hikes.
You bought one?
But why do I see 3 boxes???
I missed the part where you caught a fish and gave a final review
Bro got 3
Tent pole technology
"got one"😂

I was convinced it would be hot garbage till they paid me*
Can you do a video on how it holds up?
Pleas do
Opens a box of three “I got one”
this is what you keep in your car in case of an emergency lol
Bro said “I got one in the mail”. As he chooses the middle of 3 boxes of the same thing ☠️
>worries about hot garbage
>uses a Bear and Sons balisong
The shot at zebco at the end 😂
There competition lol
Love the video good message
A great rod don't always mean great angler
Love zebco springing reels and zebco baitcatsrr
Can you do a video on your ocean surf casting rod and reel combo?
As a BC resident I love Amundsen they make some of the highest quality mooching reels and I would trust them enough to produce other high quality products
Did u use be sound music
While cool, I recently been more cautious with rods that's more than two sections. My first GX2 was three sections and broke it at the joint of the third section.
I want to see a cast with a pole that's designed to stay together with just tension from elastic bands
Hope you can make an update video soon-ish, ive been looking for a good pack down rod to put in my car so I can easily stop and hit some lakes if I'm feeling in the mood to fish.
“Got 1 in the mail” shows box of 3
I love that rod it's so nice for backpacking
Bro if this breaks while you throw the lure you'll definitely lose a hand there😅
See how it holds up over a couple of years! I hope it's still doing ya good later
Someone got a sponsor lol can’t trust a review from a sponsor video
Yeah, I’m just gonna take my fishing pole for a test drive
This one minute Video made me buy this thing, love it ♡
My one hot take is that it’s gonna get tangle a lot so u might have it rig it up every time or spool every time
I would keep that in my work truck and use it for bass.
Yo I’m gonna buy this and put it in my pocket and fish before and after school
What rod did you use in your bluefish catch n cook?
I live in northern BC, iv never heard of this company.. the rod looks kinda skeptical but it might be worth a try. I do like the fact of how compact it is . Great video . Cheers !
Thanks man I’m saving this for Christmas to buy for my dad I’m sure he’ll love it
So just a stringed tent pole with reel set, simple but cool.
Fishing with a tent pole😂😂😂
There one like that called rig and ready it's got 3 type on one rod fly fishing spinning and baitcaster you can get reel with it aswell. Rig and ready 2000reel or you can use your own baitcaster reel .2000reel comes with it..
Is it possible to put a different reel on?
It's essentially a tent pole
This would be awesome for fishing in those small hard to get to ponds
I actually have this rod and it’s awesome, super convenient how it fits in its bag with everything that it comes with 🤙🏻
I have a fly rod from them as a spare. all the rods I’ve seen regardless of configuration seem good.
This may be perfect for me. Because of your videos I've been able to pick up fishing this year for the first time ever.

How much was it?
The bass masters was won with a Zebco 808 even there not junk go figure . I've got big catfish and tiger musky with Zebco 888 Boss Hawg rod. But I like the cheeper stuff to use and see if is good enough for fishing 🎣 nice look rod 🧐 and looks good. Nice review
*got 5 in the mail and fat check
Which is better monofilament or braided line
Company turns unused blind person folding walking sticks into fishing rods hmmmmm
Imagine you go fishing and you caught a fish. The fish is big. And your fighting it. The your rod goes. *Click clack goes back to portable mode* and your like. Shiii.
How much is it and also how do you fold it back up
The sensitivity on those kinds of rods (including telescoping rods) are pretty much crap due to the amount of joints. That kind of thing would be great when traveling on a plane tho.
I am surprised no one had thought about tent pole fishing rod before now....
Can you still fold it up if it has line in it?
Star Trek reference? Thats rare
“I found a company that makes fishing poles exactly the same way tons of other companies have been making fishing poles for 30 years and over spent on Chinese manufactured garbage than has been all over alibaba for 10 years” 😂
BlackDiamond z trekking pole have been using this folding mech for years
Cool rod would be super nice for traveling
Now all we have to do is catch a fish, there’s one
: misses the fish and video ends
Correction you got 3in the mail lol 😂
what if i have a decent bass on and it folds?
Bro just dissed zebco 😢
Amundson is actually a decent company, owned a few different things from them, all are well built.
Can you use it for bass fishing
Wow that’s actually really impressive
Those look really great you know, but I can’t afford one but I bet you got a lot of fish with it. Good luck.
Looks like you got as few in the mail buddy!
I need something like this I only have a convertible and I all my fishing gear has to fit in my trunk so something like this is perfect
how much did you pay for that I got the zebco z spin for $10 at Walmart back in like 2017 maybe 2018 but it's a one piece telescopic it didn't have a rod on it so I put an old Shakespeare interpid on it I had
I thought it was like one of those tent sticks that are good for durability and packing
How does it feel on a cast and with a fish on?
That’s clever idea for a fishing rod. It reminds me of a blind walking stick by the way it folds out
Is it for ultralight ? Just asking
bluegill setup
That looked like a few more than just 1 came in that box...! 😅
Amundson is a pretty major brand.
I might get it for Christmas cuz I’m kinda a beginner to fishing👍
