Last year I bought a couple Zebco slingshot 202 combos at Wally World, less than $15, I think maybe $13 for rod and reel!
First thing is replace the string on them, it is like horse tail...
I caught almost every fish last year with these two open face combos.
Don't let the price fool you, they are great little combos for panfish.
Brought in a couple nice bass even. They will cast ultra light lures with ease.
(They will not cast well until you change the string.)
