Good reel/ rod not so goodI bought this reel and rod combo because I saw it In the store last summer . I got the reel/ rod combo.the bait casting reel is like the Abu Garcia black max baiting reel I have.reel was good .the rod was too stiff and broke on me the first time I put line through the eye on the rod at the first and second eyes.

Second one I bought!I bought this combo in 7' MH earlier this season, and like some others on here, the rod snapped on a 4LB bass. However, I didn't have the drag set properly and at the last second the fish darted under my boat and the rod snapped. I like the reel so much though that I put it on another MH rod, and it's my go to rod with 50LB braid. I have been watching it to come on sale, and it did so I went and bought another. Going to set the drag properly from now on, but I have nothing but good hope for this combo. When fishing on a budget, this reel is a good choice!

The reel came brokenThe reel came broken and my dad had to try to fix it so my 10 year old could use it. My 10 year old is an avid fisherman and had been waiting every day for it to be delivered, so he was extremely disappointed.

Nice budget starter baitcasting outfitI really like this outfit, the reel is nice and the rod seems strong enough. Haven't caught anything YET on it but going to give it another whirl this weekend. Only getting 4 stars because since I had to replace the line I originally put on it it's been back lashing like crazy. I'm not trying to cast it to the moon either. I put some 14lb spiderwire on it to replace the other line I had. Now though it's like every other cast back lashes. I didn't have this problem before. Threw probably 75-80 casts with maybe 4 backlashes total! Have my brakes and tension almost all the way up since I'm just starting out again so not sure what the issue is. Outside of that, Been a nice little setup!

Decent ComboThis Baitcasting combo is a great start up combo. Its pretty cheap, and works good. For me personally, the rod tip broke 2 weeks after the purchase. The reel is pretty good and doesn't backlash very often. It has a smooth retreive, and smooth casting. Better at throwing heavy stuff. Overall, great combo. I would buy this again. Highly recommended.

Great starter baitcasterBefore I bought this combo I had never used a baitcaster. After a few birds nests and new line I had finally gotten the hang of it. Over the last month of having this I have caught at least 20 fish with no problems. I highly recommend for people newer to baitcasters.
Thank you for your inquiry. This rod is a Bass Pro Shops brand and has a one year return policy on it. After one year, if you need to return it, you will get a gift card. The gift card amount will be determined on an inspection basis.

What weight fish can this combo withstand?
Asked by: Ktrupe
The Bass Pro Shops Megacast Rod And Reel Baitcast Combo SKU: 2351495 is rated at 8-17 lbs. test line. SKU: 2351496 and SKU: 2351497 is rated at 10-20 lbs. pound test line. It should roughly match the weight of the species you are fishing for (e.g. use line in the 30-pound test for tuna in the 30-pound range).
