PENN Pursuit III & Pursuit IV Spinning Reel and Fishing Rod Combo

Purchased this for a fishing week over Thanksgiving and it did not disappoint. A smooth casting reliable rod and reel combo that held up perfectly to what I threw at it. Loved the travel case as well. If I didn’t already have a #1 rod at home I would have taken it back with me. I am excited to go back to Florida to fish with this again!

Strong , well balanced and very reliable .Ecxellent sensitivity and durability .Highly recommend

Do not buy these. Only taken out 5 times are both already cracking at the two piece connection point. One stripped a gear the first time out on the first cast and couldn't reel up the weight. 0/5 stars if possible.

Great quality and works great

Great little ultralight for the money, no issues. Quality seems good for the price point.

Exactly as described excellent rod and reel from reliable manufacturer.

I haven't taken the rod fishing yet, this is just my initial review There weren't very many good reviews on here for the 4000 series reel combined with the 7' 3 piece medium travel rod (it isn't even really mentioned it's a travel rod in the posting); so I thought this would be helpful to others. I needed an ocean rod (as a freshwater fisherman) to take on a trip down south to give pier fishing a go. There's a few rod/reel combos out there seemingly specifically made for this kind of thing, this Pursuit IV combo being somewhere in the middle between the super cheap combos and the more expensive ones. So I settled on this rod. I was deciding between the 4000 and 5000 sized reel but was most intrigued by the 3 piece rod; only available with the 4000 series reel. After reading a bunch of different resources, 4000 sized reels seemed plenty big enough for most fish you'd catch on a normal pier at the ocean; so that's what I went with. Some reviews mentioned it came with a travel bag, but it was unclear if that came with all of them or just the 3 piece rod (especially since that isn't pictured when selected). Mine arrived on time, in tact and with a travel bag! And to my surprise, it wasn't just a soft bag the actual rod is protected with a hard inner casing. The reel has some internal straps to keep it steady but it's more exposed; only with soft material surrounding it in the bag. This turned out to be the exact thing I was looking for -- a compact/portable rod/reel that I can throw in the car with me and have a rod accessible when I'm on trips. Given the case is actually hard, that opens it up to potentially throwing in a larger suitcase. The rod itself fits really well together (I was a bit worried about the 3 joints). When put together you'd never notice it is a travel rod. Feels extremely sturdy with a nice backbone. The reel is super smooth and I really like the knob handle (something also not really clear in the Amazon pictures of the 4000 series). There are two things I'd complain about 1. the way the handle connects to the reel housing (you have to hold the spool as you reel backwards to tighten and the opposite to loosen (necessary to pack away in the back or switch sides). Normally you have a screw on the opposite side of the reel that you use, but in this case that's just a cap for whatever side you aren't reeling with. And 2. some of the parts (drag knob especially) feel a bit plasticy/cheap. But the overall feel of the reel seems well built and smooth. Will update after I fish with it if anything goes catastrophic, but so far I'm pretty impressed with the value of this rod with what you get -- and the function it provides a traveling fisherman.

It has great action, it’s durable and I’ve caught lots of fish with it. One of my favorite combos
