Versatile! I use it for my dog
Picked up this rod, put some 50lb test braided line on it, and tied a fake duck toy to it. New pup loves playing with it, just haven't got any actual duck feathers to put on it yet to train him. Rod holds up great and I cast it to him indoors constantly. Drag on the reel is real stiff and doesn't go as light as I'd like it to, but it was money well spent for my purposes.

Don't Be Fooled-It's a Serious Combo
I needed the Dock Demon Spincast Combo for my fishing spots that have low-hanging tree branches. It filled the need perfectly. I can cast it as far as I can cast my 33 Combo. I've caught bass, crappie, and bluegill using crank bait, swim bait, buzz bait, and nightcrawlers. I've hauled in some real fighters, and the rod held its own. In other words, it does everything my 33 Combo does, and it does so in tight spaces. I like it so much that I bought 2 more for the family bug-out bag, stowing them in a section of PVC pipe to protect them. I didn't give it 5 stars because the reel seems just a little slow. I'd give it 4.5 stars, but the rating scale doesn't allow it. But it's a solid reel despite the slightly cheap-looking appearance. However, I'm thinking about swapping it out for a 33. I wish stores would stop putting the Dock Demon Combo so close to the "kiddie" combos, because it's not a toy. It's a real piece of fishing kit. And it's quite a value for all its versatility and quality.

Awesome kids rod for the money...
This rod has been an exceptional value for us. It has not given us one moments trouble. Very satisfied for the performance we've received for the dollar amount we spent. Makes catching most any fish like your landing a monster.

My groups love these rods and reels.
These were the perfect size for allowing all our groups to learn how to fish and enjoy outings at the lake.

you get what you paid for.
Purchased twenty of these to use at community "take a kid fishing events". Three of the twenty reel failed to work correctly after two events. Will recommend to our fishing club that in the future we purchase a higher quality reel. (Something along the lines of the 404 model) Zebco's commitment to the Youth of America is greatly admired.

Scouts love these!
I'm the Membership Vice-President for our local Boy Scout Council & we chose these fishing combos to give away to new scouts & scouts who recruit another scout. They are a great value for the money & the scouts love them! They are small enough for the scouts to handle easily, but don't look like a youth rod/reel.

Great for kids. Made our youth day a success. We had 42 kids participate and thanks to Zebco we were a hit. Thanks again.

Best first rod/reel
My son wanted one of the toy-grade super hero themed fishing rods from the "S" brand. While handling/inspecting it in the store, I broke it. I convinced him to choose the Dock Demon and we're both thrilled. The quality difference between this and the "S" brand toy rod/reels is night and day. Buy this one and never regret it!
