I bought this rod and reel combo for my vacation. I needed a compact combo for traveling. This set up included everything I needed including a 1.8m retractable rod, a spinning reel, fishing line , an assortment of tackle all in a nice case. The rod is lightweight but sturdy with good action. The reel is the right size and has smooth action. The assortment of tackle included lures, spinners, shots etc. The case had foam padding with individual places for each item. Overall a very nice combo at a good price.
