Only used twice. I thought I'd surf fish more. Turns out, I hated it. Haha. I'll stick to pier fishing and the occasion trip on a buddy's boat.
Abu Garcia Ambassador 7000 CS Pro Rocket on a 10ft 2 piece Penn Prevail II surf rod. I did lose the rubber piece on the very bottom of the rod and it has some scratches from sitting in a rod holder but neither of those effect how it performs. Reel has some build up from siting in my closet for a bit but it comes off easily. Ill take some time to clean it today. Other than that it functions perfectly.
Cheapest I found the reel was $182 plus tax on amazon and the rod was around $100 when I looked online. It's a $300 combo that I'm asking $200 for.
