   I’ve been using this fishing rod and reel combo for years now, and it’s still going strong! The full metal body and heavy-duty components have held up incredibly well against big saltwater gamefish. The HT-100 carbon fiber drag system is both smooth and powerful, allowing for effective handling without sacrificing performance.

   Esta caña por su precio era una de mis favoritas y resulta que no aguanto a sacar un buen pez tengo cañas más baratas y no se me había quebrado una sola, es decepcionante.

   I went with the 2000 because I am in Michigan and wanted it for inland lakes . Put some 10lb braided spyder wire on it . Took it out and it casted great . I like the rod so far though I prefer two piece . 6.6 is almost to long for what I do but if I have to I can do some pier fishing with this in the Great Lakes . I think for Salt Water , reds , blues , snook , flounder one would be best with a 4000 and up with at least 20 pound test even 30 and a wire leader . For what I will do often running across crappie , bluegill and small perch with a occasional pike or bass this will be fun . Maybe I should of opted for the 2500 or even 3000 so I could use it down south . I agree wtih the one reviewer it would be nice for sheephead who are famouns for sneaking a oyster off a hook . I sure wouldnt want to tie into a 45 pound jack with this rig . Overall very pleased and like the rod . Cork does stain but it gives a great grip and I prefer it to a slimy feel on modern rod ends when wet . Good luck with the lifteime warranty for the price of shipping you cant do wrong with Penn Reels . It is nice to own something of quality too .

   Compre 2 Combos y estan magnificos llegaron y de inmediato los probamos, excelente desempeño (lo que se espera de un carrete Penn), super precio!!! al ser combo de fabrica la combinacion del carrete-caña es ideal, el unico inconveniente fue que en una de ellas llegaron un poco doblados los ojillos de la caña y un pequeño rallon en el carrete …afortunadamente nada mas daño cosmetico, aun cuando venian bien empacadas lo que me hace pensar que el daño fue causado mas bien en el almacenje.

   I recieved my combo the end cap was broken off, the tip was broken off box not dammaged neather missing pieces were in the box, my real was not in the box and I never recieved it. I reordered and got two notices that it would be late. It is supposed to be here today, it is 3:30 cst, and it has not arrived or have I got anything current that explains anything but the outdated tracking from 5 days ago. I was not expecting that from pinn. If it does not arrive lmao through with pinn, if it does i may just send it back.
   No more money spent with pinn. Not to mention my long planed fishing trip was without the rod and reel I ordered two weeks in advance.

   Bought this rod last year to kick off the fishing season and was really surprised for the price I paid. The reel is so smooth, love the noise it makes. I would strongly recommend this kit to anyone who wants to start medium heavy fishing. I bought the rod and reel for only 165$ Well done Penn

   I have use the penn battle regularly. When I got this package everything looked great. Rod had no bent eyes or damage to rod. Reel looked clean and no obvious defects on first glance. But first time I used it I noticed casting reeling the line would snag making it jerk around. Tried a few times on the rod and then took the line out. The action felt fine ok wth. Looked closer and saw the reel has a twist and bend in it. Which threw off alignment with the rod. I don’t believe this is damage from shipping as there a no marks on the finish and no damage to box it came in. With the bend and twist being as severe as they are I would think the cast body would snap with the pressure needed to do that.

   Ordered the combo cause it wasn’t much more then just buying the reel which is what I really wanted. It was a good deal so I took it. The rod arrived with a broken tip. I did a return and they sent me a new combo this time tip was fine. The rod doesn’t break down which kinda sucks but oh well

    Haven’t used the product yet, but will be surf fishing on North Padre Island during March and April. Certainly seems reliable for catching big reds and shark with 60 lb braided line.

    A very reasonable heavy duty set of combo good for salt n fresh water set up. I give 4 star due to the handling of pennoutlet.com! It should be bubble wrap and box properly.

    I bought this for a trip to the Outer Banks, but to be honest I’ve been nervous because of all the reviews about the rod snapping. I used it for surf casting nearly every day, sometimes twice a day while in NC and it performed great. I caught roughly 40 fish and the rod was fine. I really love the reel, though a 6000 was overkill for what I was fishing for. The reel was smooth, with no quirks. There was plenty of drag and bail action was great. I didn’t catch anything that would overly challenge the rod, but for surf casting and catching Mullet, Spot and Mackerel it was perfect. Also, the price I paid for the combo was roughly the price of the reel by itself, so i’m not that worried if I have to replace the rod at some point. UPDATE: I bought a smaller 300 combo for freshwater and so far so good. The reel is fantastic and no major problems with the rod. That set was more expensive, but it wasn’t much more than the reel itself, so again, if the rod breaks down the line, replacing it isn’t the end of the world. UPDATE 2: Caught a bunch of good-sized blue gills and a largemouth that weighed a few lbs today. No issue at all with the freshwater rod. Reel was smooth on the retrieve using crankbaits. UPDATE 3: I’m up to close to 100 fish on the 6000 and so far no issues with the rod. I caught several good sized sand sharks in Cape May and a large Skate at Sandy Hook and brought both in with no trouble. I still wouldn’t say I’ve overly challenged the rod but it is definitely holding up to constant use.

    I have purchased this rod and reel combo . The item was delivered in a few days in a well packaged tube box. I opened the package and checked it out. I then took it to my second home on the coast. I was fishing for an hour and caught a 12″ stingray which as soon as he broke water, So did the tip. I had to go back to the house and grab anothe rpole. I been fishing for 30 years and never had a pole tip break while catching a fish. i did slam the door on a pole but that was my fault. this sucker just snapped. In disgust, i took pictures and left the pole at the house which is 300 miles away. I decided to call Penn and see if they can warranty it as its only a few weeks old and used once. i am not chaep but its the principal. I submitted 2 pictures to Penn where you can see the tip missing which is obvious and they called it ” marginally visible.” This is a 12 megapixel camera. When you blow it up, you can see the individual windings for each eye.. They also wanted the reel model # which even blown up is fuzzy but you can tell it starts with btl and ends in 4000. . penn states they need this to complete warranty. I dont have an issue with the reel, just the rod. I just dont think that customer service from PENN is worth anything. They have lost my business forever. I own several other Penn products but it was bought in a different time and a different era . I would not recommend anything from PENN as there are other companies out there.
