Great value Surf Rod
Got his on sale for less than $50us. The seller did an outstanding job with packaging. I coupled with a Penn Pursuit 4 4000 reel. Best bang for your buck if find both on sale. This is all you need to get started with Surf Fishing.

Great rod.
Used it for surf fishing. I love that it’s a 2-piece rod. Easier to carry and transport. I’ll say that it is durable for its length. I was a little worried about the stiffness being too much to be able to feel a bite. But it’s not bad. Takes a little bit of time to get used to casting and feeling for it if you’ve never used a longer rod before.

Only got half a rod—twice.
I’m sure the rod is great, but I wouldn’t know. Amazon delivered it missing the top half. I returned it for a replacement, the replacement was again missing the top section of the rod. Now I’m only eligible for a refund and the price has gone up if I want to order it again. On top of that, I’ve had to make two out of the way trips to a UPS store to return both wrong items. Penn gear is great, but Amazon can’t seem to deliver on this one.

Packing product not strong suit....
Finally received a rod not damaged. I'd say this company needs to concentrate on packaging correctly especially if using UPS. Both times I received rods there was no packing in the box to protect it. The rod is nice though.

Great rod for catching crabs in the surf!
"I bought this rod specifically for crabbing at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, where conditions can get intense. This beach is known for strong currents and swells that can reach up to 15 feet, so I needed something tough and reliable. I’ve had to use up to 23-ounce weights to keep my crab snares anchored against the powerful side currents, and this rod handles that weight effortlessly. The rod feels sturdy and well-balanced, making it easier to cast with precision even in rough conditions. Overall, it's a perfect match for anyone dealing with extreme surf fishing environments, and it gives me the confidence that it won’t buckle under pressure."
