I love this combo. Great set up for a great price. I purchased two of these light action 6’6” combos. Only problem is, I have broken both rods (tip) so far while fishing. One was while dealing with a snag. I can say that was my fault. I should have been more careful and gentle. But this morning I broke the second rod reeling in a decent bass. Some may say user error. I say these rods are overly delicate and should be more durable. Well, time to shop for another rod. The Penn Battle reel is a trooper. Love this small reel. If pennoutlet.com or Penn would like to send me a replacement rod I would appreciate it😇. I am not able to find just the rod for purchase. It is out of the return window as I purchased this last one in October 2024. All in all, I am still a Penn loyalist when it comes to their reels.
