Richcat Fishing Rod and Reel Combo，Medium Heavy Poles and Reels Telescopic Rod Kits for Adults， 22lb Line Pre-spooled with Spining Reel for Travel Saltwater Freshwater Catfish Bass Fishing

I watched a video and read all the reviews but had to test it myself. First time at Redondo Beach Pier it held a stingray, my friend grabbed the pole and asked how much can it handle and I said I don’t know I just bought it! Held it good and the line is a 20 lb test. Took it to Malibu Pier and pulls up 3 fish no worries. Then to Marina Del Rey bait dock and pull bonitos, barracudas and big smelt so easy. I own a lot of poles but for some reason this is my favorite. Smooth reel and strong and I would suggest anyone to get this and see for yourself. It’s also very sensitive to feel so it’s easier for me than my deep sea to feel but I use both just to maximize my fishing game lol I bought it for travel bc it’s small enough to pack. I also clean the scales off every time after a day of fishing, don’t want it to mess with packing it in My friends spend hundreds of dollars on reels and poles and I catch more most of the time 😉 I think I’m gonna buy another bc it’s so great to work with plus the extended pole under my armpit helps when I’m fighting a fish

Great for travel! I’ve had it in a carry on, with it just barely sticking out of the zipper. medium-heavy action, very stout for a telescoping.

I brought this to FL on vacation to do some surf fishing (8'). I was skeptical about how flimsy the tip section seemed, but I think it's actually what makes this pole work. The other sections of the pole are really stiff (they have to be because they are thin walled to allow the telescoping) so the tip section takes a lot of the shock off the rest of the sections. I was chucking 3 oz. pyramids (carefully) without issue. I caught pompano, lady fish and whiting without any problem. I also caught about six 2.5' to 3' sharks without any problem. The reel isn't "superior" quality but is functional and the drag worked better than my Diawa salt reel. I didn't buy it for the reel so I will replace it if and when it craps out. I hope the pole lasts for a few more trips. It seems like it should. Well worth what I paid!

At first glance, it it looks terrific. The action on the reel is smooth. The rod feels solid but has great touch and flex. Looks like a decent quality rod and reel for the $$. Comes with a rod holder and bells so that was a nice bonus. TBD on performance as I have not used them yet. If it performs as good as it looks, it is an excellent value.

The reel is not smooth reeling at all. It gets hung or semi-locked after the cast and it takes some effort to get it to start retrieving the line. And the supplied fishing line that is included on the reel is so bad that 1 out of 3 casts ended up with a tangled mess because the line would come off the reel and retain it's circular form from being on the reel. I had to put some quality mono on it so it would stop ending up in non-recoverable knots. So no......I do not recommend this rod/reel. If I can save one person from the frustration that comes with it........I believe I have served my purpose.

Edit: it is now 2025. I bought this setup in September of 2021. I use it for surf and it is still holding up nicely. This is a really great combo. For a telescopic carbon fiber pole it is very sensitive and reactive. I fished hard for a week in the surf with 3oz pyramids and had no problems whatsoever. Reeled in some stingrays but that’s not the poles fault! The reel is solid and the included line held up perfectly. All in all, great buy and great product.

Lightweight, easy to store. Got a lot of use over this summer and has held up just fine

This was about the 5th time I used this pole. Was okay rod and reel until this happened last night. I have NEVER seen a rod snap like this one did. It was caught on a snag but didn't do anything any different than I ever have with all other rods, even cheap walmart one. Less than 2 years old used about 5 times. :(
