The media could not be loaded. I went for the 1.5m (5 foot) telescopic rod and reel which came in the Lixada bag (see pictures and video) as my local river is not huge. The rod is very well made and although most of the action is in the tip section that is to be expected due to the telescopic nature of the rod - the lower sections need to be quite stiff since the rod folds up into itself. The closed length of the rod is only 31cm (approx. 12") making it a good choice for packing into a backpack or suitcase and the reel has a folding handle which allows for flatter packing. I would advise getting a reel cover to keep the reel clean if it will be spending time in and out of a backpack. The reel has a nicely made design which incorporates an effective drag dial and a handle lock to prevent handle being turned backward if you want to rely on the drag while playing fish (that is my choice of set up - lock ON and drag set to enable a decent sized fish to safely pull line). Reel fits securely into the reel seat and the seat has a double ring lock system to ensure that the reel stays in place while in use. Casting is easy and the bale arm doesn't flick back over while casting unless it is knocked quite hard. Using the 1.5m rod I can easily cast an 8g spinner around 30m without much effort - that gets it to the other side of the widest part of my local river so it's all good there. Reeling in is very smooth and totally silent indicating that the internals of the reel are well put together and running properly. The guide rings on the rod are a decent size which is great to see since many of the small telescopic rods available online have tiny guide rings which affect casting distance - this feels more like a 'proper' rod. As with all telescopic rods care must be given while opening and closing each section of the rod and it's definitely best to avoid pulling on the rings or they will eventually weaken and snap off - I've shown the correct method in the attached video for reference. So, in summary..... Does this rod and reel combo perform well? YES Will it catch fish? YES Will it last a long time? YES, with sensible care. Could you rely on it in a survival situation? YES Will it pack down into a backpack? YES, although a reel cover would be advised to protect the reel. How many stars? 5, all the way. If you are into survival / bushcraft you may want to check out the Lixada titanium stove - it's not related to fishing gear but it is a great item to have in your bug out bag / bushcraft kit and it also represents excellent value.

I bought one of these to keep tucked away in my campervan and wasn’t expecting too much, but this little rod (second longest option) has impressed me a lot. I spent a day spinning on it and after getting used to how it handled it was very impressive. The reel is also very usable too! The first thing I done was buy decent quality line for it though. Not saying anything is wrong with the line that came with it, but I like a high quality line on all my reels.

I am a fisherman for many years brought this rod for my grand child. First it got lost in the post Amazon and the postal service said so. But it arrived by post not before I had ordered another it was a promised Christmas gift. I returned it by post and was charged €20 for postage, should have told them, Amazon, to collect it if they wanted it back. What a mess out €20 for my trouble wish I ever brought this overpriced rod.

I haven't been fishing for years and fancied dabbling again, so I bought this as a general purpose set up - and it arrived with all the necessary paraphernalia. It folds up nice and small and is very lightweight. It's not usable straight out the box as you need to load the reel with line first - so I watched a Youtube video to see how to do it. It didn't take too long to do. The problem however, is that the reel isn't very robust - the handle broke on only the second outing - and is not repairable. I sorted the issue with the supplier - so no problem on that score, but I shall buy and use a more robust reel when using this.

Expected a stronger rod tip, also no line or lures with the rod, just as well cos if you caught a pike on this rod it would snap
