Don't waste your money! I bought this for my 4 year old. The 1st time we used it, after the 3rd cast, it wouldn't reel in anymore. My husband took it apart and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't reel in. The fishing line was all over the place and my son was very disappointed that his fishing pole wouldn't work. My advice, don't waste your money! It's very cheaply made. 1 star
