i bought this rod 2 months ago and absolutely happy with it for$ 20. 00 did n't expect much but man this rod has been great. i live on the central coast of California and I 've use this rod in the surf for rock fishing and it hold up really well. these rod can handle good size fish. i have caught up to 3lb surf perch on this rod, 18 inch green- lings and 7lb Cabezon, freed line from thick weeds and horse fish out of rocks with this rod. I 'm a budget oriented angler and on this rod its the best use of$ 20. 00 i ever spent hands down..

Works and performs like one worth 10 times as much

I have a few surf rods, all cost way more then this one and funny thing is this one is my absolute favorite. I tell everyone how shocked I was with how good this one feels and performs and that it truly is the best 20$ I ever spent in my life. I reeled in a 10lb striper out of heavy surf just the other day with 30mph headwinds casting a 2oz bucktail. I have the 11 ’ one. If you surfcast, try this rod. You ’ ll probably sell all your others. Feels so good in the hands and it ’s so easy on my back and the casting goes so far and the lure action is so easy to handle. Buy this rod now.

In the past I had a few bad experiences with Daiwa fishing gear and as a result was skeptical of their products for years. Then a couple months ago I bought a couple Daiwa reels that impressed me for carp fishing and they were so sturdy and solid and casted so well that I use them for saltwater as well. While the reels were up to the challenge for surf fishing my Carp rods were not so I picked up 2 of these 11 Daiwa surf rods and am so glad I did. They feel so good and solid and cast beautifully. I have so much control over where my bait lands with these rods and have just enough sensitivity to see and feel even the small bites. I am blown away by the quality of these rods and would recommend them to anyone.

I bought this rod and reel combo about two weeks ago, as an upgrade to my PENN Fierce IV Surf Combos for my shark surf fishing setup. Caught 3 big bat rays and a 5 ft long leopard shark on the combo with ease. Reel is insanely powerful, and by far one of the best reels you can get out there in the “ middle to expensive ” price range for PENN spinning reels. Rod is a little stiff, but it performs very well for the price of the combo and it held up well against the might of the leopard shark and bat rays with relative ease.

Great fishing rod combo! Recommend, purchased for a family member and they like it a lot for inshore fishing.

Wanted to get back in to surf fishing and was looking for a mid- range new rod and reel. Checked the in- store sale and this setup was$ 50 less on sale. Penn is a great company with quality products so I did t even think twice about it. Planning on doing quite a bit of surf fishing this year and love that I have a durable rod I can depend on now.

Bought this rod a week or two ago and it ’s held up. Negatives- It ’s a bit heavy( which I get Bc it ’s main purpose is a catfish rod). Also don ’ t like the clear tip of it, why not make it glow in the dark for night fishing if your already going to make it clear? Positives- it ’s surprisingly got pretty good sensitivity for it being a thicker 2 piece rod. It ’s a pretty strong and it really shows no signs of weakness. I ’ ve caught a bunch of catfish and perch over the past week and the rod has done great. One of the catfish being over 15lbs, it ’s earned my trust. All in all if your looking for a nice, strong, and durable rod for under$ 50 this is a safe bet. It ’s got minor issues imo so the pros heavily outweigh the cons. 4/5 stars

I bought my first Cat Smash with a Dick's Sporting Goods 20% discount given to flag football coaches. Two weeks later, I bought another without a discount because it's the best combo I 've ever fished with! You can cast effortlessly and haul in big cats with smooth gears and a nice tacky Winn grip handle. Price is lower than what's on Amazon.

Ca n't go wrong with Lamiglas. This rod performed better than expected for me. First I thought I might not like it as it is not on their expensive line but I was surprised when I used it. Light weight( for its price range, more expensive ones are way lighter), awesome casting distance, great for both jigging and plugging! Used it on Cape Cod Canal and open ocean.
