I caught a 7 pound bass on this exact same pole. This thing is very versatile casts like an absolute dream stays true to its name the slingshot with its casting! Had it for 4 years never respooled my line, caught lots of big bass with zero line snap or issues. I have hundreds of dollars invested in way nicer poles the slingshot is by far my favorite for 9$ you cannot beat this pole. Wish I would have bought all of them at Walmart when I had the chance.

"It's a Zebco, so I'm not really expecting the best..." WHAT??? Zebco has been around for decades! My grandpa bought me a beat up ugly used Zebco from a second hand store back in like 1990 when I was 7 and that bad boy lasted all the way until I was 20! It NEVER broke! Somebody stole it! 🤓 Now I realize as far as quality goes I hear ya! But maybe the old Zebco combos lasted longer because they were better quality parts being used at that time... But for cheap GOOD I think Zebco is pretty decent especially the prices! you can get this combo for cheaper than a single decent spinner bait and it should last a good time! Thanks for the video!

I landed a 6 lb bass with one. It REALLY put that cheap rod/reel through its paces but it did work. It's less than ideal but it's functional. I'd prefer a shakespeare for a cheap rod, its better in every way, but the zebco is great for biying 3 or 4 at a time to hand out to the kids who are just gonna be hauling in bluegill and small trout.

@@icebat4168 Did you buy yours at Walmart? A lot of times the ones at walmart sit around and EVERYBODY messes with them ALL trying them out, playing with them, breaking them, etc.. 🤓 I feel like Walmart should keep all their poles locked up and only put ONE out for "DISPLAY". I bought 3 of these from amazon and they were delivered to my door, I don't believe many people had a chance to fondle them because I have had them since around 2019 and no problems with any so far! Bought two Dock Demons at the same time! Those are SOLID and still doing great as well...

I've used one for 15 years now for trout fishing 🎣 because is only for small fish. .saying. I've even got nice catfish in the lower Rio grande River in New Mexico. I like cheeper stuff works great for me you don't need fancy stuff for fishing. Just learn the limits of your stuff. Me zebco and the slingshot is great stuff for food or fun at the river and lakes. For 3 lbs bass no problem

Not interested in the reel, but the rod as a cheap BFS rod. How well does it cast that lower rating 1/16? Does it load well on the rod? Lure rating 1/16 to 3/4.
