The description was for a rod and reel and ended up just receiving the rod. I contacted Boating Savings the company that shipped the item to me and they told me Amazon had made a mistake in the description. I was informed that I could return the product but I decided to keep the rod and purchase some reels to complete the set. I am dissapointed that the description has not changed yet and hope more people don't make the same mistake I did.

this is the ideal pole for someone who travels. The only drawback might be that it might loosens up on a cast. I found the solution in using some electrical tape. The pole is responsive and stiff enough to feel a nibble.

Shakespeare Medium Action Travel Mate Combo (6-Feet 6-Inch)

I used this rod on a recent trip to Belize where it was used to catch several species of fish. Used with 10# braided line it performed great. It casts light lures very well and has the sensitivity and 'backbone' to handle practically any reef fish.

The ability to pack it in a small travel bag and eliminate the need to worry about it as hand luggage makes it the ideal travel rod. A great buy for the price!

I just got back from the Florida Keys... Took this rod
along in my suitcase.. Used it for 3 days pier fishing
and caught fish all day long.... It performed
great....

Needed a pack rod for airline travel. great action for my needs. Looks to be able to comfortably cast up to 1 oz.
