American Explorer II Fishing Kit

Rating

This is a great product for the money. You won't find anything close to it at retail, that's for sure. Although the rods are best suited for light to medium size fish (ie. fresh water rainbow trout, crappies, etc) you won't be disappointed. My fifteen year old son caught his first two pound cat fish with this combo in a relatively short time after we started fishing and won our fishing pool. Needless to say, He's now "hooked" on fishing.

this kit is really great for the price. I'm sure it's not going to last a lifetime, but it should last for a few years if I take halfway decent care of them. I gave one to my wife. one to my oldest son and I took one. My son and I tried them out up in northern CA. and we both ended-up catching multiple fish. The reels seemed to work well and the rods were more than durable enough to handle the trout we were after. I'd say for the price they were a great bargain.

This is a not too fancy but complete fishing set for a family to begin lite fishing for entertainment and many good meals. The quality is great for the price and the add on tackle and fishing guide is great for beginners and children. We got the set when we moved to a rental on a fresh water canal for the family and have had a lot of fun with it (but you do need to pick up some extra tackle for Bass.)

We loved this rod/reel set. As novice fishermen, we wanted something easy to assemble and use. They did tangle kind of easy but I believe a lot of that fault is with the fishermen rather than the poles. We fished off of a houseboat and found casting easy and forgiving. Shipping was fast and easy. I tried to find a similar deal at local out doors stores here in Houston and nothing came close to this deal.
