Saltwater spinning reel

I was looking at penn the offer combos I wonder how the rods are

IMO the rods are not great. Pretty heavy. I'd recommend buying the reel and then finding a rod you like vs buying the combo.

Shimano Stradic C14- 4000 model. Son brought in a 6ft shark with it, broke the pole but still able to land it. Great little reel for trout and reds.

I use Penn Battle II 2500s and Daiwa BG 2500s. Great little spinning reels. They will handle just about anything in the bay.

I have used the Penn Fierce 2500s too, also a solid reel for a little less money than the Fierce.

They hold up well.

This^^^^^

If you want to step up, Stradic and don't look back. 2500's are plenty for what swims in the bay. I've found new BG's and Battles on eBay well under $70 at times.

I got a battle 3000 I’d sell ya. I prefer the 2500 better.

Another vote for the Penn Battle II 2500!! You will not beat it in that price range.

I got my first spinner last year for long casting popping cork work. I've got big hands, and I tried the 2500 series reels, but the bail would whack my knuckles sometimes so I went to the 3000 series and it is just barely larger but big enough to work for my hands. I got me a 8 1/2 foot light action/fast tip rod and I can cast that sucker a mile!! I got the Shimano Stadic and it has served me well. I'm sure the Penn's will work as well as many others... I've never been a spinner fisherman because of issues I had a million years ago with line twist on 'em, but when I got the new Shimano, I watched the you tube videos of putting line on spinners as well as casting techniques and I'm now a genuine expert!! (even though I didn't stay at Holiday Inn!) Good luck!

Im a huge Shimano Stradic 3000 fan. Ci4 is a truly awesome reel.
Id also recommend the Diawa Ballistic 2500 XH
