PENN Battle IV Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo

great product, arrived in a tv type box that wasn't long enough so fishing pole was sticking out box and got damaged! Like some of the other reviews said! have to send back to replace. Come on amazon pack stuff right! Seems like I have to send stuff back constantly, not because of product but because of amazon

The media could not be loaded. Guaranteed this pole makes it's way onto the boat or in the car for every single fishing trip I go on!!! I purchased the 7', medium fast rod and it can literally do it all (inshore, offshore, boat, surf). The graphite composite rod is lightweight for all day use in the ocean and does not exhaust my arms, but still heavy and strong to pull in a 15 lb fish. My typical use is in the bay for fluking and it works great! I am always bringing home some dinner for the family!! The full metal body reel is incredibly smooth with carbon fiber drag washers. Be sure you rinse it throughly with fresh water after returning to the dock as the saltwater will cause corrosion if left to sit.I have purchased a number of more expensive rod and reel combos that are not nearly as good quality as this Penn III for the price. You will not be disappointed in the durability, versatility and ability to reel in the biggest catch in your group! Worth the money a hundred times over and will absolutely be buying another to add to my collection soon. The cork handle is a wonderful addition for added comfort and grip, plus it looks really nice!

The rod/reel combo arrived with the last 8" of the rod tip broken off and missing. It was still in the factory plastic wrapping so the factory workers must have packed and shipped it with the rod tip broken.Bad quality control from Penn!I live in Costa Rica. The rod was delivered to me by a friend so I'm unable to return it from Costa Rica.The reel seems fine and the overall combo is handy. I've had other Penn products that were also fine.Penn needs to get a handle on this.

Product:Penn is always going to be hard to beat, even with their older models. The quality of the reel for this price (even including the rod) is well worth it. I bought this setup for surf fishing specifically to catch Bull Reds and of course loads of sharks that come with the SC territory.The first time using this setup, I was able to bring in 2 monster Bulls, 6 small sharks, and a catfish within two hours. I lined the reel with 40lb Braid and had absolutely no fear of the line snapping or the reel not being able to handle heavy fish. Given the water action, I was throwing a 4oz pyramid weight.Seller:Prior to purchasing, I was reading a lot of negative comments about the packaging. It seems many people have had to order replacements, which is never fun. My order came in one piece, but was by no means packaged super thoughtfully. I Ordered hoping it would come unbroken and gave the seller the benefit of the doubt.*To the seller: I highly recommend at least using some foam wrapping around the rods when placing in the boxes. This would lessen the probability of shipping related issues and save you some harsh reviews!Overall, great product.

While I only visit the beach once a year I was getting tired of ruining my bass reels with the harsh saltwater that I would always neglect to rinse off after each trip. I’d hate to know how many reels I ruined.I finally decided to buy a saltwater combo and I am so glad that I did! This thing is a beast! The reel is smooth and the drag is the best I’ve seen.I like this combo so much that I use it back home for bass and catfish.

They really need to fix their packaging on this item. I ended up spending more time on the return packaging then they did on the original packaging. Had to return like 2 of these because the reel was damaged in shipping or the rod was all scratched up. Works like a dream once you actually get a nice one.

This is a fantastic fishing pole. One and done purchase. Said no fisherman ever. Great pole though if I could only choose one for the price this is it.

Awesome set up and packaging. Was nervous about past reviews but you guys have stepped it up and provide quality service and product. I did order wrong size at first but cancelled right away and was charged twice but you guys did refund my money for one in three days. So no complaints, 100% would purchase again and again.
