Not a slick deal. I bought this reel/rod combo from Walmart a few years ago for $25 and it has been regularly on sale for $30 or less. The reel is complete garbage and you'll want to ditch it after only a few uses.
It was a much better deal pre-COVID, picked up 6 of them for $29 each.

I use them for freshwater Walleye, Perch, and Crappy fishing out of a boat and peer fishing with a crankbait. While the reel isn't the best, it is far from garbage. Its biggest drawback is the lack of a reversing mechanism.

This is basically normal price at Walmart for this combo. You can get it for about half this when it actually goes on sale. Usually local an YMMV.

I paid $20 after tax for my 7' MH GX2 during last summer.

Pretty average price for the GX2 combo. I'd check your local walmart and scan a couple rod and reel combos with the walmart app. Snagged a GX2 combo for 30 bucks but the stickers said 50. It was weird. The rod was 40 but the combo was 30. They go on sale frequently.

It's a freshwater rod but I use mine in saltwater for inshore and kayak fishing and it does just fine.

This appears to be a freshwater rod?
It will work fine for fishing a pier or light salt water fishing. This rod can easily deadlift a 20lbs. fish. I've seen a guy cast two full milk jugs with one. They are very strong.

The reel isn't sealed for salt water, but most "salt water" reels aren't really sealed well either. You rinse it off when you are done, and don't dunk it in salt water, and it will fish salt water fine.

Just an FYI they only honor that warranty if you save your receipt so stash that thing if you get one. But it's a good rod I have 3.

Been using it for pier fishing. Just make sure you rinse it down afterwards.

Solid deal. Would be slick if the reel was better. I bought this setup a few years ago around $30. Upgraded to a Presidential reel shortly after. The rod has held up fine w moderate use!
