Rating:  - GARBAGE!!!!!!
I know kids are hard on things but don't you take that into account when you design something for them. I bought three rods (over $[...] total) and each one them broke down within one hour of using them.
Rating: - Complete garbage!
I purchased two of these. One for an eight year old and the other a ten year old. These things are garbage and we actually just gave up exchanging them and they have been sitting in the garage collecting dust ever since. The lines constantly get tangled and they do not stay working for more than a few casts. I would highly suggest that you look at something different for your children.
Rating:  - Pretty Darn good but we did not catch any fish
This really works and my 4 year is able to use it for the most part. I have to release the safety. We had a little problem at first getting the bobber to open and the hook to fall out but realized our weight had come off.
We used it today for the first time and really enjoyed it.
Rating:  - Cheap Plastic!!!!
I bought two for my sons for Christmas 2007. One of them broke on the first try of cocking the gun!!! I tried to fix it but realized that the mechanism was made of cheap plactic which had snapped in half. The other gun has continued to work fine after several outings, however, we still have not caught any fish with these. Mainly because the bullet which holds the hook has a hard time opening, and then doesnt allow the hook, bait, and weight to sink low enough to attract any fish. Dont waste your money - we pulled out a cheap rod from when I was a kid, and my kids actually preferred that!!!
Rating: - immediately broke
My daughter was SO excited to get this, but the first time we tried to reel in the casting bullet (EXACTLY as per directions), the line broke and was lost in the reel which I had no choice but to take apart, thinking the line would be fairly easy to recover and put back together. NO. I'm a relatively mechanically inclined individual, and rarely do I give up on a project because I can't fix it, but this was a serious pain in the - neck. I suppose I could replace the reel or spend a few hours messing with it...oh yeah, I don't actually have a few hours to dedicate to that, so...to the garbage it goes. Very disappointing.
