JUNK JUNK JUNK!!! You can find a good 2 piece rod with a zebco33 that's just as portable for what that junk cost.

Just by a $ 10 two piece rod and a zebco like Moose says, some of those zebco's at wal-mart will do the job!

A few companies now days do make a pack rod, you can get them form $20-30 up to $180. I know cabelas has them, you'd have to check other places to see.

A good tackle shop in Fort Wayne, IN has a St. Croix packable rod that I think I will get next time I go there. Not sure why, but I feel like I could use it since I travel a lot. I don't pay much attention to St. Croixs, but I think that it is a 5 piece or something like that.

Well if he's looking at that crap a zebco would be a step up. Money may be an issue for the young man. You can't beat an old 33. But remembor folks people who use reels like those are usually not avid fishermen. The guy that fishes 3 or 4 time a year. The zebco is all they need. Most of us put more use on a reel than most do in a life time. For that are reason we need better equitment.
