Great starting combo
At the time of buying it, was 130 and was worth every penny, nice and smooth and casts great, make sure you clean it though because it is not sealed.
Good Rod & Reel Combo for Inshore / Surf
You can use this for both inshore and surf fishing. I have pulled up to 40" bull reds with this reel and the drag never disappointed me. Rod is strong and won't break.
Awesome medium light setup I got for my dad to Spanish mackerel fish.
Affordable and fun. Super nice setup for the price and has been giving my dad a blast of a time. Would recommend to anyone.
Great light tackle combo
Bought this as a backup to my other Penn setup that I use which has a Battle II 3000 reel. This rod is top notch, reel is smooth, casts really well and has caught some nice fish already. Action is a tiny bit slower than I'm used to but this was a great buy. I highly recommend for a beginner or anyone looking for a solid reel in a combo setup.
Battle II
Awesome rod and reel. Casting is smooth.
Great inshore rod and reel
Ive had Penn Battle IIs for several years now. Was bummed to see they stopped making them. So when I found this one, I was super stoked
Nice combo from Penn
Really nice combo! Good quality!
Great combo!!
Perfect combination for inshore fishing.
Great
Live these combos use them all the time from redfish and Spanish mackerel
Can't be beat for the money
This is a good economy combo that will last for years. I have used several of these in harsh salt environments
Balance and handling
This combo is just what i like. It is balance good and is easy to use for me. It holds plenty of line 30lb braid is almost 500 yds. so it can handle anything I can from the beach. Plan on using for kings from my boat and pier also.
Great combo
I use for stripers and it's great for it. I've used on the pier also for cobia and kingfish and it's great.
Steel Head fishing must.
Itried this penn combo on the Thorne RIVER, ak., it didn't let me down,4 casts,3 fish 14 to 22lb. No problems at all as I expected,i furnish only the best for my float lodge clients.Ron Clymer.Thorne BAY,AK.
Great rod and reel
Great rod and reel. I own two of these. Good for all around inshore fishing. And cheap way for someone to get into fishing. But have a quality product.
That should be a good combo, not to heavy not to light.
It comes with a battle 2 rod and reel.
The reel and rod are black in color.
The 4000 or 5000 series would be a good choice for inshore fluking
The 4000 series inshore series would work for you
We can certainly spool your reel before it ships out. Leave a note in the comment section at checkout if you want us to spool it, we spool with mono for free. If you want braid or fluorocarbon you can purchase it with your order and we'll spool it up with
The "CBO" in the BTLII3000MLCBO model just indicates that it is the combo with the blue handle.
Hello, The Penn battle<i> </i>II is a very diverse combo that will hold up with almost any type of fishing.
Yes, you certainly could.
Penn doesn't list lure weights on their combo rods, but 1-3oz would be a good estimate. This rod was designed for surf fishing, jigging would not be advised with this combo.
The Penn Battle reels sold with the rods are not a lower quality reel than the reels that are sold individually.
We would suggest the Battle II Combos with either the 3000 or 4000 size reels for this application.
The Penn BTLII4000701M Battle II Spinning Combo would be the best combo for white bass fishing.
I am assuming that you are fishing for striper, bluefish, flounder etc in New Jersey. Check out this rod: http://www.tackledirect.com/st-croix-vis76mhf-avid-inshore-spinning-rod-7-ft-6-in.html
Each of the combos come with a different size reel. It lists the size reel in the descriptions.
