Was not damaged when shipped came early love it now time to get some big hussies offshore

Great reel for the money, and its a Penn. i have landed some great fish from the surf with this reel. This is a work truck get it done kind of reel, if you are looking for a lariate with all the bells and whistles you wont be happy with this reel. You have to work it, no level wind, star drag, you have to think. Would buy another!

Pole its self is broken I expect better than that for the price and

A great reel, particularly for this price. Very versatile and with easy maintenance it will last decades. I have many Penn reels and this one has not disappointed me. I also like the classic look of the Senator reels. The reel feels very solid when mounted and is quite smooth when in use. The drag is easy to set and quite sufficient. Try one and pass it down to your kids or grandkids--it'll last that long.

Beautiful rod raps and good looking reel, very smoth spool bearings, smoth drag. 30 size reel holds 547yds of 40lb brade to top of gold full line ring. Box was very beat up in shipping, but rod and reel survived. Check frame screws for tight. Spool runes so smooth it reminded me of the penn squider I bought 50 years ago. Good fishing 2 U !
