These are nice spincast reels for kids 8+. Too big for rods under 5.5ft. A mild upgrade over the plasticky packaged sets for kids, metal parts, slow reel in and single pick up are still basic. The 33 is better for a buy once keep forever set up, but these are good for easy casting intro before switching to a spinning set up. I plan on putting these on telescopic poles to keep in the trunk of the car when the kids are done with them.
