Fast service nice product well shipped

Beautiful rod, well built. Can’t wait to put it to use!

worth the wait !

I got the heavy version of this rod to target sharks on boat trips. rod is super strong, but a little heavy. not really made to cast, so i dont see this as an issue. put an 8000 size or larger reel on is and hold on.

Perfect for Charter boats

Rambw3080c66

We Bought 12 of these rods for this charter season. 1st trip of the year, reeling up the 2nd fish one of them snapped in 2 between the 3rd & 4th guide. And also had one go down due to missing eyelet (which happens on a charter boat)

As the season progressed we started breaking braid, 4 or 5 times a trip. At first I assumed it was a bad batch of line. Respolled the reels 2 week ago with power pro and results were the same.

Preformed some pull tests at the dock Monday; tying the line to a cleat and putting a strain on the rod, 6 out the 10 remaining all cut the line at the 3rd eyelet from the tip. Upon close inspection each had a hair line crack in the ceramic insert.

Penn customer service was very unresponsive, blaming the issue on heavy use & was unwilling to work with us at all, even on the snapped “single use” rod. Now I know my testing wasn’t very scientific, but 6 rods with defective guides all in the same place, appears more systematic than “heavy use” wear & tear after 7 weeks (which that was when I tested them, I almost positive they’ve been damaged from the start of the season) Also of note, we had run the Slammer rods of the combo package for a few years without issues such as these.

When it was apparent Penn was not interested in addressing the problem on whole, I offered as a compromise that if they sent me replacement guides I would replace them myself. But unfortunately that offer was rejected as well. They are completely washing their wash hands of any culpability in this matter.

Matched up 2 Penn RAMBW2040C70LB to match up with some old Penn 330 GTI level winds i have. I was looking for an inexpensive rod that would look nice with the reels and also be functional, and these did not disappoint. I used the combo for rock fishing recently with 65 lbs red power pro spectra and 40 lbs short mono top shots with dropper loops for deep reds and ling cod (350-550 feet) and they worked fantastic. The rods were sensitive enough to feel the bite that deep but had plenty of back bone to crank the fish up, even with a double on and heavy weight. Very, very happy with the product.

I’ll be honest for the price I bought this for I didn’t expect much. Number one question yes it’s made in China. Is it beautiful, does it seem functional yes, will it make a good light sea rod oh yeah!

Excellent quality and appearance.

I purchased 4 of these rods for use by friends on the boat. I happen to use them now myself all the time. I have them spooled with 20lb mono and they feel great. You can feel as soon as a fish starts to nibble on the bait. Caught a fish on my first time dropping bait (Bottom fishing) with one of these rods. I plan to use them trolling for Spanish and King Mackerel.

I paired this with my penn senator and have been killing it out of San Diego harbor. Love the rod.

I bought two Rampage Rods for Bluefin fishing last year. Wanted to put some fish and time on them before reviewing! The rods are rock solid! From casting irons to fighting fish. Rods have a great back bone in the fight that hold up to big explosive runs. Well worth the price! This is one of the times I got more than expected considering what I paid for them.

Great rod for the price. Heavy due guides will not brake easily. Nice feel. great backbone

Just got into the Southern California bluefin tuna kite fishing and wasn’t really looking to spend 100-300$ on a rod for a kite but the rampage rod was perfect. It has the short length which is nice for moving around rods and it has a big guide that you can fit swivels through.

This is a very good rod to give to those friends/guests who don’t have their own rods to fish with.
