Boat & Surf Combos

wife and I bought a boat as empty nesters we were looking for a new hobby to enjoy. we needed fishing gear but didn't want to spend a bunch of money on stuff we really didn't know anything about. slight sticker shock on high end equipment prices online and in stores ($300 + was more than were willing to spend ). We fished Galveston Bay and caught several fish and even a flounder and a small shark. It took some getting used to setting the drag but the rod and reel worked fine. Hope to fish for ... read more Click to read full text of review titled "". some larger fish about 25 miles out near the rigs soon therefore I am reserving a higher rating until I do.

Good value

Now retired my wife and I recently purchased a new boat. Wanting to expand our fishing experience to offshore waters we decided to get rod and reels capable for the task. Needing to control cost we settled on these combos. At this point we are satisfied with our purchase.

Penn 309m Combo set.

Best Price ever. You can 't beat this deal. It's like getting the rod for free. Reel it self is worth $69.99 sold separate. I used it today and it has very smooth casting. I used 30lb mono line and hold up pretty well. Yes invest only if your serious about using a conventional reel. I recommend youtube for practice.

Perfect

I got this combo a few months ago and is beyond expectations. I have caught many fish while trolling. I put 40lb mono diamond line and the two are a perfect match. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Nothing fancy - just what we needed

Bought a pair for to keep at the beach. Nothing fancy, but pre-spooled and with a basic set of tackle so you can get fishing immediately. Once we figured out the bait (live sand crabs caught right there at the beach), started pulling in whiting and sheepshead. No regrets buying these, if they wear out or break it’s not going to hurt because they’re not expensive for what you get.

great value

I purchased this rod for my trip to the coast to get some pier fishing in. excellent value for the novice fisherman who can't justify purchasing exspensive rods

Great combo for the money !!

Great combo for $200.00 . I bought it for red snapper and cobra season and I love it !!

Best combo for the price in class

Bought this a couple of weeks ago and it has been great. Solid rod and reel for the price. I'd say it's the best combat this size for the price.

Penn squall30 combo works

Have caught many fish including this six foot shark off San Diego coast with my Penn 30 combo. Saltwater doesn’t phase it, still works smooth after a year of fishing

Great Reel and Pool Combo

I bought a 21ft. Edge-water and have not been fishing for quite sometime. I e-mailed Penn and asked a gentlemen named Tony Dubeck. I explained that I wanted to start purchasing gear for my boat and gave him my budget. I have now started to buy items and I have to say my first purchase ia awesome and I plan to equip my boat with all Penn equipment. Thanks Tony.. Jamie Calver.

Awesome combo

I bought this back in March of 2017, the local academy store had it discounted. I've used this rod and reel combo on 5 fishing trips since and I love it. It's light weight really let's you feel those fish tugging and I've seen my rod bend to where I thought it would break on 2 occasions​ and it holds up well I recommend it especially for beginners like me.

never fails

I got this 2 Christmas's ago and I've dropped it in salt water it works great better than some of my 200 dollar reels I suggest getting it
