Zebco Slingshot Fishing Rod Review (Walmart $10)

This video reviews the Zebco Slingshot fishing rod that is less than 10 dollars at Walmart. I would highly recommend this rod to any beginner that wants to start fishing and even if you are not a beginner it is great to have this extra rod on the side for some pan fishing or just letting a friend borrow it if someone comes fishing with you! I explain why I would highly recommend getting this rod and at the end of the video you will see me reeling in two pretty big fish with one of them being a big bass and the other one being a salmon from lake michigan! if you enjoyed this video give it a thumbs up and if you want to be notified every time I upload a Youtube video hit the notification bell!

Good video! They are the same price here. I love my slingshots. I have three. The biggest fish I have landed on a slingshot rod so far is a 7.7 pound bass and it handled it no problem. For the price you can't really go wrong. And like you said, they are perfect to lend to a newbie or a friend or as a back-up rig.

Started fishing at the start of covid, I bought a zebco slingshot absolutely love it, swapped out the line, 20 pound line now and yup have 0 issues great for people wanting to get started I’ve usemine pretty much every weekend

My first fishing pole 50 years ago was a zebco one and I just left Walmart today with another one. I’ve had other rods and I just have nostalgia for them. I’ll be sixty one in a few months and as long as I need a rod, it’s going to be a Zebco.

I just bought that rod and reel set up at Ollie's Bargain Outlet yesterday for $8.99 just because I like how the rod feel. The reel isn't good, and I think I will buy a better reel to replace it, but the rod is fantastic! I can tell a good rod when I feel and shake it and this rod is a very good rod for trout and panfishing, especially for the price! A couple of years ago I found a rod and reel combo that looked like junk lying on the ground. I picked that rod and reel home and threw away the reel and put a new reel on the rod and now that rod is my favorite trout and panfish rod! I mean, I have spent $30 or more on a rod before and this junky looking rod out perform my more expensive rods! So don't be fooled by the prices of these rods! I like this Zebco rod so much that I'm going to buy 4 more to give to my brother, my sister, and my nephews!

Just picked up 3 for my 3 grandkids, ages 3, 5 and 7 so I can take them out fishing when they come visit next month.

Actually I bought that rod on Walmart galveston at $8 and I’m really excited thanks for the video, new subscriber here👍🏻

I've got a lot of fish with slingshot open and close with 8 lbs line my kids are in their 20 now and still have one each that they sell use for bass and trout fishing 🎣

Imagine going back 2000 years in time to a coastal fishing, and telling the locals that this space age technology can be bought for the cost of one hour of labor.

The best Walmart rod in my opinion is the Shakespeare? Reverb. I caught my record ~13 pound bass on it with nothing but some braid and a lure on it. I’ve caught like literally 100 fish on it and it has no problems it was literally 10 bucks 😂😂😳

[damianibarra]

I have that combo and is very really powerfull! Nice catch bro!

[drjekelmrhyde]

That's the perfect rod reel combo for Busse Woods. You can also use it to catch bait for your catfish rod.

Bought one days ago but don't know how to set it up....Watching NatGeo Wildlife big fish catch is now my passion for using hock and line for fishing

[PeeBeeJayBayBay]

Was at an airbnb this weekend and they had a couple of these zebcos, didn’t get to catch anything though :(, once I fixed the problem with the line backlashing, it was a good decent rod.

My wife just snagged 2 of these for $5 each yesterday

[nepalyt]

I just got one from walmart. But there is no hook and thread. Do i have to buy those separate?

[nathandeunk]

Someone gave me a St. Croix Magna Flex in what looks like a leather bag, but there's no reel. I'm a fishing novice; what kind of reel should I buy to use with this rod?

[primefs]

I have 3 of them. 7.99 at Walmart in Texas. I love these.

[BlackDogChronicles]

I have purchased 4 of these at local Walmart's and all of them have the same problem with the reels. They will intermittently freeze the line in the middle of a cast or fail to retrieve line when reeling back in. For us, these have not been worth the $10 price due to these issues.
