I replaced the included 3# mono with cheap OMNI brand 4# line (cause that's what I found on the shelf at the local Wal-Mart) and it casts pretty well now. I mean, it's a tiny little reel so there just isn't enough line on it to go very far with it. I can basically cast it all the way down to the spool now though so at least my example seems like it can be set up to cast pretty well.
The design is clever. It's ultra compact and with the line running internally there is very little to get tangled up. I really like the internally threaded design. It is a little tricky to get it threaded up. The included wires for fishing the line through were easy to use. However the included weights were NOT really usable on this set-up. The weights are too long to fit in between the reel and the rod tubing opening so I couldn't get them started to thread, they need to be a little shorter. That's a bit of a shame because it would be useful for re-threading "in the field" and they fit into a little built in container in the rod. I'll probably try to cut one down to fit and work better.
The overall build quality and materials are really very good for what it is, and it all feels good in the hand.
The compact reel comes with some limitations.. due to its size, and some cheap internal construction. It just doesn't hold much line. I find the drag is really tricky, it has a very narrow band where turning the dial actually changes the drag and it goes quickly from nothing to too much drag. On 3-4# line fine tuning the drag is kind of important so It would be nice to have finer and more usable adjustments here. Lastly, the 2.3:1 gear ratio feels super slow, so being used to larger reels with higher ratios it feels like it takes forever to reel in. I can see that as probably just a product of how tiny the reel is? I feel the reel more than anything else is what holds this micro combo back from being anything more than a toy.
So... could you fish with it? I think you could. I could see bringing in stocked trout and small panfish with it. If you accidentally hook onto anything significant though you better hold on tight so it can break your line or you'll loose the toy! It really is obviously made as more of a toy than anything else though. If I actually wanted to fish, even if I were backpacking, I feel there are better options to carry than this rig.
ProFISHiency actually makes the same basic design of internally threaded rod but a little bigger, which they call their pocket combo. I think that would be more effective for ACTUAL light fishing vs. this mini pocket combo (the reel size on their regular pocket combo is similar to a Zebco 33 MICRO with a 4.1:1 ratio). I like the design concept enough that I think I'll be picking one of those up in the near future.
The Zebco Telecast collapsible rod plus a Zebco 33/Zebco 33 micro is a great set-up (tried and true) for a pack-in or in the truck combo with a closed face reel. I have two of these and they work great for these purposes.
There are plenty of other collapsible rods and compact set-ups that are made for packing in and more with actual fishing in mind if that is what you are looking for.
As a fun little thing to goof around with though (which I think is the intent more than actual fishing), I like this. So I'm giving it 4 stars with that in mind. In spite of its negatives I still think it would be a well received gift or stocking stuffer by most folks that fish. I like playing with it.

The first thing I did was raid my husband's tackle box and restring this with some 8lb test line since that's what was available to me at the time. I add some extra weight to it, and gave a few test casts and was ready to go.
We just happen to be lucky enough to live far enough out that we have a small creek that runs through our property. The kids and I headed down to dip some hooks in the water. We spent about an hour fishing together and I was able to catch several perch, catfish & even managed to catch a turtle which sent my you set shrieking for the house HAHA!
All in all this is a fun little rod 'n' reel, but don't expect to use it for anything substantial, there definitely won't be any deep sea fishing happening with this. Although if you camp or hike alot or if you are someone who is prepared for anything at all times then this would actually come in handy to feed yourself.
With its small size, and the ability to shove it down even smaller it is easy to store and save space. I found with the hidden weights that it was easy enough to string and I didn't even bother with the wires, although I did save them in case I need them in the future. The weights were a bit of a tight fit but they went in there, and once the rod was strung the weights were able to be rehidden in its little secret spot which I found to be very intriguing idea.
I wish my grandmother was still here so that we could go out fishing together and test our little poles against one another. I think she would have liked this little pole as much as I do.
