Shhh! The fish don't know this is so inexpensive...
Size: 5'6"
Style: 5'6" Telescopic Rod - M Power
I love Zebco and how they make fishing simple and fun for novice anglers. I have much better rods, but this little gem is never embarrassing and I find I use my Zebcos more than the "good" stuff. The beauty of this rod is obviously the portability. I thought there would be a substantial sacrifice in action, etc. Not so. This economical little wonder is a bundle of fun and doesn't disappoint. I never feel somehow cheated by the economy of this rod: it's durable enough to withstand reasonable abuse, can hide in a car, has a quality build for this price point, and has decent performance. The rod end cover works well for me too. I put a new Zebco 404 on this rod and for well under $40, I have a great little combo suitable for almost any age.

Pretty alright!
Size: 5'6"
Style: 5'6" Telescopic Rod - M Power
I love pan fishing. Although I do everything too. I like telescoping rods too, so I can grab and go. I also have to eagle claw rod (changed out the reel of course) and by comparison this zebco is a bit stiffer, which is a good thing since telescoping rods are notoriously flexible. I threw my zebco 33 custom z on it (though I plan on changing that out for a different spincaster, but havent made up my mind) and it worked great. I have several rods and reels for certain scenarios. When I am alone, bank fishing, you can't go wrong with this guy here. I throw on a swivel and remove the lure when putting it away and I carry it in my tackle bag. My whole setup is so grab and go -- which is why I love this reel. It's *not* the best rod you will ever have as far as sheer quality, but it might be the best in so far as portability and versatility. Can totally catch bass and even northern (pulled this guy up from a bridge! The pole was bending so bad and I was worried she would break but she held it together). All in all -- buying this you can be sure you are getting value for your money. If you match colors like I do, it looks pretty good too. But this is not something for extreme fishing like tournament bass fishing or trophy fish. If you love pan fishing and maybe some bass, this is perfect. It can do more than that, but it's pretty rough on it lol.

This is so Cool
Size: 5'6"
Style: 5'6" Telescopic Rod - M Power
This rod is amazing to be a collapsible rod after hours of use you won’t realize that it actually collapses it’s very durable but then again it’s a Zebco :)

Works great for stocked trout.
Size: 5'6"
Style: 5'6" Telescopic Rod - M Power
It extends and collapses pretty easily and doesn't get stuck. My kid dropped it in the muddy water so it's a little gritty, opening and closing, but it's held up well so far. It's a little stiffer, then a single piece or two piece of the same size. So if you like a very flexible finesse rod, keep that in mind. As far as durability, I probably wouldn't trust it for catfish or any really heavy fish .But for stocked trout, it works really well. If you want a rod that fits in the water bottle holder of a backpack this might be it for the price.

Excellent and inexpensive fishing rod fits nicely in carry-on luggage
Size: 5'6"
Style: 5'6" Telescopic Rod - M Power
Zebco always has good and inexpensive fishing gear. This time I ordered their collapsible Z-cast fishing rod. It's the right length and is well-made. Also it fits perfectly into my carry-on so I don't have to leave it at my rental vacation house. All of Zebco's gear is excellent, even their youth introductory rods/reels are quite good for a very low price. That's the reason I keep buying Zebco rods and reels--for over 50 years!

Low quality. The rod lasted all of 10 minutes before one of the eyes came unglued and broke loose. You get what you pay for.

Tactical addition
Size: 5'6"
Style: 5'6" Telescopic Rod - M Power
Works fine, the plastic cap should be kept though to keep the rod locked in. This is my emergency car rod and it's been a nice tactical addition. It is quite compact and sits out of the way until I need it. It's a great conversation ender also. Sorry, gotta go fish.
