Many fishing gear advertisements lure you like sirens of the sea, reeling you toward what could be more of product that you want to catch and release than a really good catch. However, Amazon has a five-star rating system for its products, and here are just a few fishing poles that have earned that five-star acclaim…

Cadence CR7B Baitcasting Rods offer fast action, they are super lightweight and they are great for both saltwater fishing and freshwater fishing. Stainless steel guides with SiC inserts make for smooth action, all but eliminating sticking lines, minimizing friction and enhancing sensitivity by transferring vibrations from the line, straight through the rod to your hand. And that’s what it’s all about! Am I right? Plus, you know there is a lot of faith built in to a product when it comes with a 90-day, risk-free trial AND a one-year warranty.

YONGZHI Fishing Rod and Reel Combos also offer a one-year warranty for their Carbon Fiber Poles with Spinning Reels crafted specifically for bass and trout. These poles are made from premium quality graphite and come with durable, corrosion-resistant stainless steel guides. The lightweight cork handle provides a sure grip, while the two-piece design offers ease in portability.

Ok, so what about the munchkins? The ODDSPRO Kids’ Fishing Pole with Spincast Fishing Reel is deemed the best value in kids’ fishing kits and also receives that oh so illustrious five-star honor. This product is an all-in-one fishing kit that comes complete with line, a tackle box and a great selection of crankbaits, float bobbers, jig heads, soft lures, swivels and sinkers suited to a wide array of different fishing situations.

There are plenty more fine options out there, and whatever you decide, Gerry’s Marina wishes you perfectly overcast days with a breeze strong enough to keep the bugs off and gentle enough to keep your boat from spinning or drifting too fast. Hook ‘em up and reel ‘em in!
