Penn Squadron IV Surf Spinning Rod

Have bought the 8,9,10 foot mediums. They are very light. Eyelets are very robust and strong. The reel seats and threads are still plastic with a paper thin chrome wrap. They cast fantastic with different reels. They are on the stiffer side but when a 30 inch, marauding bluefish slams you, you'll be happy its stiffer. Then 10 foot medium launches 4 ounces really well. Im always 100 to 120 yards with that weight and im certainly no great caster. The 8 and 9 foot rods do nicely when fishing artificials. Stiff enough to jig with and with enough give to keep jerkbaits and plugs feeling and looking real in the water. If you want the super sensitivity of an ultralight, get special line and learn how to use your fingers. I've had a mixed bag of deliveries with Amazon fishing rods. The ones that are shipped with ups,fed ex, Amazon always come in just a plastic bag regardless of rod brand. The ones that have shipped with USPS always come in a box. When buying Amazon rods now, I always check the shipping and if it says shipped via usps(shipping couriers aren't always visible) I buy from that seller.

Nice quality, perfect for my needs. Paired up with my Penn reel. Nicely made for a 2 piece rod, with the right amount of rigidity yet still sensitive to light strikes. Great steelhead rod, or beach rod for fish under 20 lbs. It would probably land larger species with the right kind of fineness.

Nice rod for the money! No it's probably not like a $500 rod but it also wasn't $500. Not that I've ever used one of those. Nice action!

Ordered 3 rods and when I used first time one of the rods split below the 5th eye and then broke. Two of the rods performed as expected. I was on vacation in Florida. I live in Georgia. This happened before the return date but we returned after the return date.

These are legit surf rods. I’m an inshore fisherman so they immediately felt too long and too stiff. But putting a 3oz weight on them made me feel more comfortable. Now packaging. They arrived in plastic bags and the bags had fallen down exposing half of the rods. The eyes and handle were fine, but had minor scratches. I would have paid extra to have them arrive in tubes.

Great surf rod that I bought to pair with Penn Slammer 4500 reel. 10' rod Balances great with reel. Med has lots of flex when plugging in surf and strong enough to handle big cow bass and blues. My go to rod for bass fishing 3 seasons now. Quality sturdy rod materials hold up well in the surf

Nice rod. Looks great, casts great, the action is great. I paired this with a Penn 4000. Don’t waste money on those super fancy rods This is well made in USA.

So far so good. Haven't caught anything large enough to test it's strength yet but it casts great. Consistently casts 3oz pyramid weights with a pompano rig well near 100 yards if not more

Ideal para la pesca de lobinas

A lot of rod for the money, it really is. It feels great, handles very very well and is extremely hard to beat at this price.
