Penn CARSFII1530C10 Carnage II Surf Casting Rod - 10'

I bought 2 of these 10' casting rods & paired them with Avet SX MC reels. This is a great setup. The tip is sensitive for good bite indication. I don't normally need to cast too far, but once I had got the reel set right I can get a 3oz lead over the 100yd mark with relative ease.

I bought the 9ft 15-30lb line class. I can cast a mile with this rod. I haven't caught anything with it yet. I was hoping to use it for catching reds and drum in the surf but I have come up empty so far. The rod is amazing quality and 10x better than the prevail. They are powerful, im sure i could catch a 5ft shark on it as well with ease.

This rod did cast nicely for such a heavy rod. Paired nicely with a Penn 10500.

Just received this rod from Tackle Direct. usually when you buy rods, they are packed loosely in an oversized box. but these cams very well packed in a hard cardboard tube/bubble wrap. the rod itself has fantastic quality. Build quality is awesome. very comfortable EVA grips and most of all, very light weight compared too my Okuma Longitude. When I was looking to upgrade my rod, I was looking for something that had a decent price,good quality materials used (K-guides included which is a plus),good sensitivity and light weight. the Carnage 2 satisfies all these requirements. would recommend this rod to anyone.

sensitive enough to feel fluke when biting but enough back bone to haul n sharks from the surf
