Ok i was so excited to get my new combo, until i opened it. Top eyelet was damaged, a little dented up and inserts out. Sucks because I am going fishing in the morning, so running out to pick something up at dicks. I guess ill call Penn on Monday, as for the quality looks great can't wait to use it.

Great combo and value. Rods are sturdy with good feel, reels are smooth and hold plenty of line.

Well first off, I'll admit that I'm relatively new when it comes to conventional reels, having stuck to spinners throughout my freshwater and short saltwater career. Upon the recommendation of my girlfriend's father, I took to this reel because in his experience he expressed that it was simple, durable and easy to use once you got your thumb trained. He was right. This thing has stood up to 3-hrs straight of fishing for Bluefish off of a party boat as well as casting into the surf, so far. The drag is nice and smooth and easy to adjust. The clicker is also loud and easy to switch on/off when you get a bite. Casting is pretty smooth with some practice. Best of all, what I hear from experienced fisherman, is that this thing is better off than comparable reels with a "level-wind" system. Why? Because that's always the first component to go under strain. So, in closing, this reel is a good, versatile and an economical option for the $65 price tag, considering that it'll last you a couple of decades if you take care of it and there are original parts as well as conversion kits available. My girl's dad still has the first one he bought in the 80's still running on the same drag washers, that's saying something as to the quality of this reel considering that he's used for everything from blue-fishing to tile-fishing.

My wife and I have been using Penn reels for a lot of years, we don't even consider other brands at this point. We have some big Penn reels that we have owned since the 1970s that we use offshore. These days we do more freshwater fishing, it made sense to stick with PENN.

Reel is as expected but i didnt know it was w Narrow. it seems as thought there is no trq40ld2 that is not a Narrow. still a great reel and great shipping
