Deal Details
Profishiency Crazy Dock Fishing Spinning Combo - 2ft 8in, Medium Power, 1pc $14.99 w/free shipping @ Sportsman's Warehouse [sportsmans.com]

Available for free in-store pick up or free shipping (showed free shipping to all the zip codes I tried)
$14.99 (50% Off reg price of $29.99)
Hot Buy! - Ends Sunday

Profishiency Crazy Dock Spinning Rod and Reel Combo - The ProFISHiency Crazy Dock combo features a 34in fiberglass rod making it the perfect size for fishing around docks! The 5.2:1 gear ratio micro spinning reel comes pre-spooled with 6lb Crazy Line making it easy to track your cast or see your line moving when the fish bite! The Crazy Dock combo comes with a 1/16oz spinner bait and casting plug for practicing.

34in Fiberglass Rod
EVA Grip and Foregrip
Micro Spinning Reel w/ 5.2:1 Gear Ratio
2+1 Bearings
Includes Mini Spinner Bait & Practice Casting Plug
--------------------------------------------------
This isn't a crazy high quality rig, with only 3 total bearings in the spinning reel (still better than only the one some ultra cheap reels have), but it is decent for lightweight freshwater fishing. Nice for panfish, trout and smaller species. I've taken tons of smallmouth bass up to 2ish lbs on 6lb line, but you have to play the fish until it tires out and you can't just horse them in like you could on a larger rig. Shorter rods like this are very popular for ice fishing and fishing from kayaks. And, it's the free shipping that makes this deal, IMHO. Enjoy, and take a kid fishing.

I highly recommend Shakespeare version of this or the zebco dock Demon instead. They range from $10-$18 at Walmart. Awesome little rods.

It fills in my tax before I add my address. Add my address and it doesn't change. Of course in their favor. I live in 4.5% and they are charging over 8%. I know it's a dollar extra when I buy 2 but it's the principle. Oh well, I'll cave. Never happened with previous purchases.

I've never had that issues on the Sportman's website. Maybe try refreshing your browser tab, and putting your zip back in. I've had some websites do this to me and then it corrects itself on the last page where you review your purchase before okaying it. Otherwise, if you really want the deal chat or call customer service. I had to do that once on a really good knife deal.

Good luck.

Tax was wrong because I did in store pick up. My fault.

It would be a good rod for a kid who might have trouble with a longer rod. Short rods like this are great for catching smaller species, ice fishing, packing or anytime a full-size rod would be a pain. Longer rods will give you the ability to cast farther and fight larger fish, and can be had in both lighter and heavier actions (easier/harder to bend, increased sensitivity, ability to set hook vs forgiving enough to not tear a hook out) depending on what type of fishing you do. As someone else mentioned, Walmart usually carries the Zebco Dock Demon which is a similar shorty rod, and they makes a setups with either a spincast (closed faced) or spinning reel that get great reviews. In the fall you can sometimes find them on clearance.

Here is a good article on fishing rod weight and actions. [wired2fish.com]
Here's one on spinning reel sizes. [curated.com] A spinning reel is my advice for someone who wants to keep their fishing easy, but here is a good article explaining different types of reels. [fishingbooker.com]

I'd probably grab a more general use rod in the 5.5'-6.5' range if this will be your only rod and you don't specifically need a shorty like this one.

This Ugly Stick combo from the other thread is a great rod that would catch most freshwater species. Otherwise, Walmart usually has decent deals in the $25-$35 range. Try to shop name brands, and look to see how many ball bearings are built into the reel. More usually means better quality and a smoother working reel. As always, check the reviews.

You can spend a ton of money on top quality rods for different kinds of fishing and even for the style of lure you want to throw and how you want to work it. But, an inexpensive setup will work just great for most recreational fishermen. I'm a pretty avid fresh and saltwater shore fisherman (I'm too poor to own a fishing boat) and the most I've ever dropped on a single rod and reel was about $70, and that was a lot for me. You just don't need to spend that much to go fishing.

Have fun and take a kid fishing!
