Very pleased with this purchase.  Not only Is it a tremendous time saver, it lays down the line in a firm, even and efficient manner. Easy to assemble, intuitive in its operation, and brilliant in design.  I love it and hope it lasts for years to come.

This product is works very well with fresh water fishing! Stripe bass, crappie, bass and even minnows can't stop hitting it! You can't beat the price and for something made out of China the quality ain't so bad!

This is a great item! Easy to assemble and easy to use. Holds rods ( with reels attached) very securely.
Well worth the price!

This thing works great! can cast it along ways and with less effort. The reel does not backlash as easy as most reels but it can be done. I would highly recommend this item for all levels of fishing.

I was very pleased when I received my new fishing rod. I purchased because I needed a heavy pole for a fishing trip that was coming up. I did not expect this pole to be this nice. I really like the camo paint and the carrying case that came with it. It has not yet caught me a fish but I don't figure that's a fault of the equipment.

I'm a very avid freshwater (bass, panfish, catfish. Fish 2x week) and I'm planning on trying my luck at surf fishing for the first time in a few weeks when we take a family vacation to Panama City Beach. I just got this combo delivered a week ago and I must say that it seems pretty solid. I take pride in my gear and this is a nice addition to the two saltwater spin cast rigs I already have (they double as catfish rigs). Holds a TON of line, I spooled with 30# braid and it took most of the 300yd spool that I bought. I took it to a field behind my house and cast a 3oz pyramid sinker a few times and the distance the rod gave me was outstanding. Shouldn't have any problems getting a pompano or bluefish rig out past the breakers or sand bars. Retrieve was amazingly smooth. For the price, I just don't see beating this combo Those folks at Penn know what they're doing, even in the lower cost models. Makes me want to rethink the brand of my catfish rigs now!

I own many of these and would not go fish offshore without them.  GG Mackerel is favorite color but Blue and Purple are also good.  The most recent fish we caught on one of these was a 27 pound White Seabass, which usually feed on squid only.  The new X-Raps have awesome finishes, run true straight out of the box, have sticky-sharp hooks and are proven trophy getters.  Just be careful when pulling them out of the water especially at troll speed - after breaking surface they can fly back into the cockpit and you could find out just how sharp the hooks really are!

This is a fantastic combo for a "I want to start fishing, but I don't want a garbage combo" person.  It's really a great set up that can do a lot.  It breaks down to two short pieces.  I store it in the cab of my pickup and have a no problems doing it that way.  I've heard of people casting and having the second half of the pole launch off into the water -- I haven't had that happen to me in the several months of fishing that I've used this.

I did need to apply some oil on the reel, more maintenance than anything else though.

I guess the best way to put it is, if I lost it, I'd get another.  And thats after fishing with several other similar priced combos while fishing with friends.

When I was looking for a flyrod and reel combo, I was not at all sure which one to pick! After a few days of looking at flyrods under $100, I finally decided to go with this one. Did I make the best choice? I guess I'll never know, but today I waded for hours in a local quarry and caught 25+ big bluegills and really gave this rod a good breaking in. If you would like to see pictures, follow me on Instagram: ChanceGall. The drag works great and the line slips through the guides very smoothly. If I were you, I'd order some new fly line and some tippets because the ones that are pre-spooled are pretty nice, but not the best. I am still using the line that came with the rod, but soon I will change it out. If you are interested in fly fishing but don't want to dish out big money for a fancy, brand-name rod, do yourself a favor and get this one. I'm eager to use it on the Little Manistee river in a week!
UPDATE: This rod is still working great a month after receiving it. I've caught big bluegills, trout, and one giant 4lb bass on this rod and it's been great. This combo is awesome!

Great tip to go with my JBL spear. Tried it out this past Friday and got some good practice with the local perch. Great penetration and very easy to remove the fish once you pin the barbs down with the little slip. After a while in the water my hands did, however, get too cold to pin them down hard enough to put the slip on them and I had to unscrew the tip. I had no problems whatsoever with the tip unscrewing by itself. All-in-all, great tip, especially if you hunt in a rocky area or reef.

I have seen similar items in fishing stores and thought many times about purchasing them but always thought they looked a little small and flimsy to do the trick.  I finally decided to purchase this item after reading several reviews and am very glad I did.  I go fishing regularly with my son and we try to pack light.  I have a fishing vest that allows me to carry or attach almost everything I need.  My vest has a spot to attach a small net so this magnetic net release will come in very handy.  It is very well made and a little bigger than the ones I've seen in stores.  The magnet is strong but it is still easy to attach and detach items.  When I'm not using it for my net, I plan on using it for my gloves or other items.  I'm so glad I bought this item - very handy to have on hand.

Can't beat the price for the quantity, and the quality.  In truth, I have never ran into any of these that were cheap and broke anyway.  But one may think about that when we're talking 100 at once.  I've paid this much for 20 of them in bait shops, and the quality is no better.  No matter what kind of fishing you do, you will always find a use for these.  And they are one of the best and most important purchases you will make as to a worthy addition to your tackle box.  Highly recommended, and good luck...: )

This a as nice a product as you are likely to find. It was easy to work with and very well made. Although it does not come with all the tools shown in the picture. It does come with some. I would recommend this item to anyone fishing away from your tackle box.

Works great! Just used my new Banjo Minnow set today and caught some nice large mouth bass! A great value for an awesome bass catching system!

They're good quality and definitely help with the glare when I'm fishing. The hard case, pouch, and cleaning cloth are a nice bonus. I wish they made things a little darker, but they're still quite nice.

This line exceeded my expectations by a long shot! I used it in some really rocky places and some that were covered in twigs and logs. I have yet to break a line! If I got hung up a good tug and I was unstuck. It's also perfect for night time fishing. You can shine a light on it, see when the line is tight, throw some bells on and walk away. You don't have to worry about loosing your fish. The other thing is the amount of line. I have seven poles I have re-strung all of them with the 30lb even the small ones with this and still have plenty left over. Probably enough to do all seven again.

I ordered and received this product fast and easy! this fish grip is very useful simple and easy to use and in the photos you can see my 4 year old nephew who cough his fish use it and handle it so well. this was more then what i thought i got, by saying that i mean i got a measuring tape built in, tells you the weight, and grips on the fish that has teeth to help hold and get the hook out! its about 8 to 9 inches long easy to store in your fishing box or there is a string that you can put it around your wrist. the grip part of the fishing grip is like a hard foam part easy to hold onto. the measuring tape can go out to about 2.5 feet. weight can go to about 36 pounds( about how far i can get it pulled back by hand). as i am big into hunting and fishing this tool is a 3 in one highly recommended! Awesome and worth the money! thank you for reading and i hope you can order and get it to use out on the lake!

Anyways i hope this review helped you make your decision and if you do order i hope it works out just as great as it did for me. once again like i stated before i did receive this item free or at a discounted price BUT i did not let it decide on how i was going to write the review. i gave my honest opinion. thank you again and have a good day!
