Super Rolle wie alle PEN

The 8000 series spinning reel paired well with a Penn 12ft rod. Love the DX series , good materials and good performance for distance casting and demanding heavy fish.....Fish-On

Great reel, Solid, built like a tank. The low gear ratio of the L2 was just what I needed.. I bought 2 for kite fishing from shore. These reels need to handle not only the pull of the fish but the pull of the kite.. A senator with a higher gear ratio would have been difficult to work with. But the L2's 2.1:1 gear ratio and 21 lbs. of max drag proved to be just the thing needed to get some traction on the combined force of the fish and kite. If the weight of a reel is a critical factor for you, this might not be the reel for you. Specs list it as weighing 44 ounces.

Very nice reel...seems well made.

I have to give the product a 5-star rating because it is a nice quality rod and reel combo. My problem was that I didn't know what I was buying. I'm not a fisherman. I was buying it for my father for Christmas. I wanted to find a really nice quality rod and reel as a gift. The reviews were good for this one so I went for it. I didn't know how huge and heavy this rod and reel would be. I didn't know that this rod and reel is primarily for people who are fishing out in the ocean off of their boat. It's not meant for someone who likes to fish at a marina. You really have to mount this on a boat because it's too heavy to hold up by itself. So, if you know what you want and this is it then I do recommend it.

Great combo for price
