Haha, I have one of those. My sister got it for me for Christmas a few years ago. The reels are garbage, but I just took mine off and added a cheap tiny ultralight spinning reel. Used the rod for perch and bluegill, it was pretty fun. Haven't used it in a while though. I used hose clamps to attach the reel otherwise it wouldn't fit.
Last time it was used my buddy hooked HIMSELF in the back of the head trying to cast! lol, newb.

I figured they would be crap but they are cheap and if i catch a few pinks with it, ti will be well worth it.

Do they have one in Pink? Match your catch as well as your fav color. Will be well worth it.

Its mostly just the reel that was ultra crappy, you can get a cheap ultralight real for like 15$ I am sure and it makes all the difference. Also, when you extend it don't ream on it too hard or you wont be able to collapse it back down, they get stuck.
