Also, a medium-light rod. The rod is Fiberlass/graphite hybrid, so it will be durable but heavier than a graphite rod. Sounds like a decent rig for pond and lake fishing for fish up to a few pounds. Penn builds durable reels, but it will probably be an excessively heavy reel. I like my Penn Pursuit for a catfish and inshore rig, but it wouldn't be my first choice in a lightweight nimble setup. With that said, the reel quality is impressive at this price.

For me personally, I'd rather have a lightweight Okuma Avenger for $30 on an Okuma Celilo rod for $31. It would be a fraction of the weight, cork handles just feel better, better guides in the eyes (Penn rod has none).

With the Penn, you'll get a more stout reel body, better drag, and probably lifetime durability if cleaned and greased every couple years. It will just be a heavier setup. If it's for a young kid or clumsy person, this is an obvious choice.
If you're looking for this combo with a 4000 reel it's 55.54

Nice. The reel is about that price by itself.

Just FYI, Penn reels are build like a tank, they are heavier than other brand. If you plan on fishing with lures or soft plastic, you might want to get something lighter. Otherwise, I love my Penn reel. Very good for cut bait.

It's a pretty great catfishing combo at that price.

2500 is light weight. 4000 one on sale is what I would get

Just depends on what someone is fishing. Panfish and 2 pound catfish? The 2500 is better. Big catfish, carp, or might take it to the jetties? 4000 obviously.

Medium Light Power on rod.

For inshore (Gulf Coast) I generally stick with Medium or Medium Heavy. The 2500 is "enough" for me, several of my higher end combos are medium w/ 2500's.

The 4000 Combo has a Medium rod on it, for $10 more I'll be grabbing that for guests that come out with me.

All very true I own 2 3000 , 1 6000 and 1 4000. To each for their own purpose for lakes and Texas coasts. Some people don't know Penn and expect to get a larger setup just based on the price. Was just throwing on my opinions.

Explode? LOL. Doubt it, unless you fish with dynamite.

Seems like a good use for the lake.

They had a very similar deal for the 4000 reel, pre-pandemic, $39.99, and it said one-piece rod. Showed up as a two piece. Can't complain, Walmart let me have both for free. Would have preferred one-piece.
