Great rod. Compares to a custom for less money.

-i like only blank rod, it is slow rod which you do not need 1 slow rod more. But button of penn is heavyy. I want to cut button to keep blank rod only. And then make button light like shimano or other brand

Unlike the 80-200lb this rod has a bit more sensitive tip so not only will you see when the big fish hit but also the more subtle smaller species

Happy with this product. Good for jigging, trolling, live baiting. Especially from the kayak I’m mainly fishing off of. Even better off an actual boat. Tough. Strong. Solid back bone.

I've been in to shore based shark fishing for a long time while I lived near the keys. Now I fish from a boat in the gulf near North Florida. I got this rod with my Penn Slammer 105000 hanging on it. Fist thing I did when I brought it home was hook up my 100# powerpro to my truck and lean back on it. She held my weight with no problem. I trust it.

Great offshore jig rod for the price. The funky lookinf grip is actually very comfortable and the hardware, fit, and finish is very nice for the price.

Bought the 6' balances perfect with my 8500 plan on purchasing the 6'4 match it out with a 7500 great rod very pleased

I absolutely love mine. I've got it paired with a Slammer iii 8500 and 80 lb braid. It winches reef donkeys off the bottom with ease. I also work heavier slow jigs with this rod. It's sensitive enough with the braid to feel the slightest bite. And it works just fine if I want to bottom fish with live bait. Like I said, I love it!

Excellent upgrade over previous Penn jigging rods. Components, balance, and “feel” are all top-notch. Have fished this rod with a Torque 25NLD2 and 15XNLD2 jigging big bottom fish and west coast yellowtail, and with 12 and 15 sized star drags with live bait for yellowfin and bluefin tuna to 50lbs without problem. Would love to see the same blank technology used On some longer rods (8ft, please).

Hands down my favorite rod in my fleet, put the bend to it and she sits pretty. Heavy duty and great flex!

Love these rods. The grip has knoches that are really comfortable for gripping the rod.

looking forward to landing a tuna on it. lightweight , narrow blanks. Solid components.

the day this rod arrived I paired with a Penn slammer 3 10500 with Sufix 832 80 lb braid. I went to Honey park in Thunderbolt Georgia. After about an hour I caught a Sting ray that had to weigh 30 pounds this pole had no problem with the weight. I will be buying another one

The old Bluewater Carnage series were excellent rods but these new versions with aluminum Pacbay reel seats and bumpy foregrips are even better. I paired the heaviest (80-200) spin model with a Torque-9 with 100# spectra for large tuna.

Strong rods very well priced A++++
