PENN Pursuit II Fishing Rod and Spinning Reel Combo
$74.12

Rod and reel look perfect and they are except for one thing: the line catches on the open bail during a hard cast and closes it mid-flight, especially if there is any wind from the left. This either results in a very short cast with the bait and weight flying back at you, or the weight snaps the line. The only way to avoid it happening is to rotate the open bail to the left before casting. My reel is wound with 20 lb braid. I don’t know if it happens with mono line. It’s a real pain.Update: the rod tip broke after several weeks use. Won’t buy the combo again.
