I use for stripers and it's great for it. I've used on the pier also for cobia and kingfish and it's great.

Itried this penn combo on the Thorne RIVER, ak., it didn't let me down,4 casts,3 fish 14 to 22lb. No problems at all as I expected,i furnish only the best for my float lodge clients.Ron Clymer.Thorne BAY,AK.

Great rod and reel. I own two of these. Good for all around inshore fishing. And cheap way for someone to get into fishing. But have a quality product.

really good starter combo for entry level performance

Heavy rod but handles well. My main big rod

I've had the 4K Combo for about 3 years. It has never failed me, and the cork on the rod still looks great. Catches fish.....and the rod considered a M for saltwater, would be closer to a MH for freshwater use.

Had this same combo for years and finally bit the dirt after many nice fish caught. Handled 30+ lb cobia better than 7000 series rod I also used

Ordered the blue 4000 combo for wife's birthday
Reel and rod shipped separate

Reel arrived with a nick on the spool where it would directly scrape line constantly.

TD sent me a return label, returned and replaced with no shipping cost to me.
I was upset at first, but TD made it right with no questions asked. Happy customer

I've got several of these combos in different sizes, 4000, 4500 and 5000, and I've been very happy with them. They cast well, work great for bottom fishing and even trolling in a pinch. I am sure I've overloaded the rod and have not broken any of the three that I have have. Several of my friends don't like the rods in these combos but for what I am doing they work fine. I use them on my dock for catfish and rockfish and on the boat with the kids to bottom fish, mostly stripers and catfish.

600Series reel has exceptional drag system along with 9ft Battle Rod works great for plugging .

Awesome surf combo and affordable. The penn battle 2 8k is really smooth and is probably one of the best reels that I’ve had.i highly recommend getting this combo??

the best combos because i use it from inshore to offshore i would recommend this to other fisherman out there

I love the setup, very sturdy and extremely balanced. Shipping was quick and the packaging was pristine however when I received the rod it was missing the butt cap. I didn't notice the butt cap was missing being I had not used the rod and reel. Once I realized it was missing, I contacted tackle direct twice and thus far the missing butt cap hasn't been resolved.

Received this rod and reel within days of my order. Came in two different packages which was fine being the rod was tightly packed in the oversized tube. Haven't gotten a chance to use yet but seems to be very well built with a nice balance for the combo.

Great rod/reel for the price. The rod is a bit bulky, but not as bad as the cheaper whuppin stick rods. Quality you would expect from Penn.
