   Bought this hoping to replace the rentals on bottom fishing charters. This rod was more than sufficient for the task! The strength and sensitivity were right on point!

   Today I went out and used this rod for the SECOND time. I was on Canaveral Princess head boat and I hooked a maybe 8 lb Cobia. This rod snapped like nothing right in the middle of the fight and all the fisherman on the boat started yelling. “MUST BE A PENN!” Upon conversations with other experienced fisherman today they told me to never buy a Penn rod. I’m nearly 70 years old and I’ve bought numerous rods in my life. Probably 50 or so. This is the first time I’ve EVER had a rod break that easy. Penn, you need to do better. The word is spreading. – P O’d Fisherman.

   Love these rods for wreck fishing offshore! I own 5 of them. I have had 2 of them longer than 5 years and they have never broke or lost an eye under some pretty extreme fishing. I’ve paired up these rods with Penn Fathom 2 reels. Highly recommend.

   So many mixed feelings on this rod. When it was working it worked really well. It feels good when fighting both large and small fish and the grip is amazing. Problem is that the cheap cost seems to come from quality control. 4th eye from tip had a hairline fracture that only became and issue when rod was really flexed and then it would instantly cut the line. Epoxy around a number of the eyes is also separating. Then came the major failure pictured. Yes it was from a medium sized reef shark, but it survived the whole fight until my wife was going to cut the leader and the shark gave a last ditch shake. It was not a high stick, both my hands were on foam and the rod was barely above parallel. Wife was touching neither line nor rod yet. I wouldn’t have even thought about a shark breaking a rod if it weren’t for the odd strength configuration this rod displays. When trolling a 4oz you can see an odd bend right above where it snapped which is where it changes from solid tip to hollow. The tip seems to be a fair deal stronger than the thinnest part where it is hollow. Their intent was to make the rod less prone to high stick snaps, but it seems to over stress the shaft right there. Rod is a year old, mainly pulls in 20” bluefish and is just the backup to my Penn Carnage Bluewater. Never transported or stored anywhere it could get damaged.

   Bought the pole and put the PENN fathom star reel. Amazing strength! Feels good in hand. Best rod I’ve used by far! I use to buy abu Garcia product but they kept breaking. Switched over to PENN not a single reel or rod has broken! “Got snagged at the bottom pulled up a tire I would say maybe 30 pounds full of mud and water!”

   Went tuna fishing and while playing the second fish an under 10 poung yellow fin the rod snapped !!! The rod (still in the wrapper and using for the first time )was not under that much pressure and the fish was taking line off the reel. Obviously a design fault in this rod it should have never broke in those circumstances

    Very light but sturdy. I use it for offshore fishing and I have no complaints. Grip feels very comfortable, especially for my big hands. Would buy again.
