20% off for the 6'6" medium 2-pc spinning rod and reel combo. Basically you get the reel for free with this highly rated and reliable rod.

Edit: shipping to home OOS around 30 minutes after this deal is posted. Local store pickup YMMV.

The cheapest you can get the rod for nowadays is $40. Can someone explain why this isn't a good deal while also including a reel?

Wirecutter also recommends this rod as their main pick.

$40 GX2 combo all the time. The reel is just garbage, GX2 rod is really a stiff stick. I don't think this is even a fair deal.

If you are surf fishing, you will need at least 8 ft rod. If you want something cheap, maybe look into the Penn combo, it is about $100. or get one of those H2O surf rod, they are super cheap, but you need to find yourself a reel to match
