    • GREAT COMBO!! GREAT FOR BEGINNERS!! MUST LEARN HOW TO ADJUST 1st!!
Style: Combo

This is a great bait caster combo!! Unbeatable price! I caught my first largemouth Bass (ever) on it today at the lake! (In the pics) While I was also keeping my 4 and 2 year old occupied by myself! And I was using the fishing line that came pre-spooled!!! Less than 5 casts with a Kastking spoon (silver) and BAM!! THIS IS NOT A SPINNING REEL and it operates totally different.. You have to watch a couple YouTube videos before using to Learn how to use it and avoid birds nests and getting upset.. with ANY bait caster from cheap to expensive you have to Make adjustments on the tension knob and possibly the brakes for EVERY lure!! OR ELSE YOU WILL GET A BIRDS NEST or not get a good cast.. It’s very simple once you understand how it actually works. I just started fishing about 4 months ago.. so I am no pro at all.. but I was casting this spoon SUPER FAR and I mean Far! it was reeling in ultra smooth.. ZERO BACKLASH once proper adjustments were made for this specific lure.. I highly recommend this bait caster for anyone looking to learn how to use one or anyone who just wants a new setup without spending much money!! GREAT DEAL!! I’m SUPER HAPPY 😁😁😁😁 ... show more

    • Decent Low Cost Baitcaster
Style: Combo
Upon receiving the rod, I immediately set up the reel for a worm and went out fishing. For the most part the reel worked well, casting a decent distance with the brake turned down. I did get a couple small rats nests when casting from the side. It seems the reel whips back in a way the reel didn't like causing a small rats nest. I got another one trying to drop the line off a cliff with very little weight. Both were easy to clear and move on. Reel and rod feel sturdy enough, but I'll have to actually catch something with it to know for sure! Overall a decent rod and reel combo for pretty good price. ... show more

    • DO NOT BUY!!
Style: Combo
I received the product and went out to the pond to use it, when the bass bit my lure I set the hook and started to retrieve and the bait caster would not wind in the line. I was spinning the handle to see if it would work and it did. The brakes also sucked no matter what way u turned it nothing happened. Overall crappy rod and not worth money. DO NOT BUY! ... show more

    • Ok combo for the price
Style: Combo

Review Image by Bryan Ford
Ok, don’t get me wrong I like this combo, if you are a beginner it’s not hard to use, easily adjustable, and really if you break it, it was $30. Dislikes: No matter your settings anything over 12lb test will back lash. Compared to my black max by abu Garcia that I only paid $50 for the same exact setup as this one, it’s night and day. The alpha has nothing smooth about it, it makes noise, it’s clunky, the grips for reeling get very slippery very fast. And last but not least, the handle of the rod is too short, and not comfortable to get your hand around the reel. Things I like: it was $30, I use it for Texas rigs and other lighter baits that I can use lighter line for. The hook keeper is off to the side instead of on the front so your line won’t catch it and and cause more backlashes. However, this is a $30 rod and reel combo, so just be careful as to how you set it up. I will say this, with the issues, they seem minor, I use this rod and reel combo everytime I go out fishing, and haven’t had anything break on it or anything, yet. ... show more

    • Not a professional bait caster, but thats not why you would buy this.
Style: Combo
I bought this because for the price it had the features I wanted. It casts exceptionally well for the price. Surprisingly well even. Dialing this in was a challenge. Tighten spool tension all the way and back it off till it hits its sweet spot. After that it performed very well. Yes, it is plastic. I am going to guess it's 85% plastic. That said, it brought pride to the Shakespear name. I spooled it with Kastking 40lb braid. Primarily for the Kastking braid, and went with 40lb to see how it worked, since a friend suggested it to me. I landed several 2lb++ bass with it on my first outing and am looking forward to using it again this weekend. ... show more
