My grandsons both under 10 wanted surf fishing rods. These rods were perfect for them. Casted well, handled the surf, the boys were able to reel themselves and fish were caught every trip.

I have had 2 of these snap on me in the last 3 months after getting less than a season out of them. Hooked a few big fish and the tips snapped right off. The reels are great, it's the rods that are the problem.

Bought 2 of the 6000 size combos then took my daughter offshore hunting red snapper. She hooked a 22.78lb snapper and the reel performed flawlessly. Smooth retrieve and drag. Good unit for the price

If you want a dependable, affordable combo that can handle bigger fish and rougher conditions, the Penn Fierce is a good buy. The reel is the standout part.

Have caught multiple species and this rod had great tip sensitivity while also being sturdy

Purchased a Penn 8000 combo to add to my arsenal of rods for OBX surf fishing

Penn had a sale for the holidays that made it competitive, even at Dicks.

Like the feel of this in my hand for a 6000 reel it was not too heavy for me as a 5’4” female; although it is definitely my heaviest rod /reel .

This is a solid, budget-friendly saltwater combo with real performance for inshore and nearshore fishing- especially for lighter species and everyday use. It won’t feel like a pro tournament rig, but for most boat anglers who fish casually (even if the fish seem to mock you from the depths), it’s a very respectable setup. Perfect for the Long Island Sound.

Looks great. Would have been better if the line came with it.

I needed this for when blues and strippers come into harbor for shore casting
Mrbest727
First cast and got a cobia I absolutely love it 10/10 for sure I love it

If you’re looking for a reliable pole for inshore fishing, look elsewhere! The tip of my rod broke after one month of use. It was probably my fault since I was trying to recover a lie that got snagged in an oyster bed. I bought an Ugly stick to replace the rod and am still using the reel. I hate the reel. The bail does not automatically close. So, I have to manually guide my braided line into the roller and close the bail. This setup is subpar compared to its competition.
