Sports reviews of Daiwa D-Fish DF-200 Spincast Combo Kit

Customer Review: OK, a bit unorthodox, but....
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I actually bought this fishing pole to use as a cat toy - my three cats go completely bananas when I wrap up a lead sinker in crinkly cellophane, tie the whole thing to fishing line and then "cast" for them down our long hallway. I've spent big bucks on toys that haven't been nearly as effective in entertaining my pets.

Anyway, I bought this to replace the Rapala Spincast Kids' Rod and Reel Set with Tackle, which fell apart after about six months and wouldn't even work for the limited amount of activity for which I'm using it.

This is a pretty decent, sturdy rod and reel and would work fine for the task for which it's intended. The reel itself screws under a mechanism designed to keep it attached, and the lures and case alone would probably retail for $20 at a lot of outlets. It's got pretty smooth action to it, also.

(It works pretty well to entertain the kitties, although it's a little long for indoor use. You probably could saw off the top eyelet without too much trouble if desired.)

Happy fishing!
