What combo would you use for California halibut along the Southern California coast? Size 3000? Could I use the same combo for surf perch and stripe bass along the Northern California coast?

3000 depending your line choice. Smaller diameter braid like 20# and the right rod will work fine for most halibut from the shore. A boat with deeper depths will max out your line so then I'd go 4000.

Agree, 4000, as I recall the weight difference between the 4000 and 3000 is very little, so go with more line capacity.

4000, as I recall the weight between the 4000 and 3000 is very little, 4000 having more line capacity. Once you go bigger there is a huge jump in weight of the reel.
The 3000 might do, but the 4000 is better simple because there isn't any real reason to get the 3000.
Check the specs on weight of the 3000 vs 4000.
You can always pad the 4000 with mono backup line then braid if the cost of braid is an issue. I do that on my bait casters, just enough braid say 55 yards rest on the back to spool, mono.
The 4000 can be used for surf fishing as a bottom entry, it's light enough for bass, freshwater fishing.
This is a good price I got that reel for $45 and a Walmart Grit stick, an Ugly stick like rod, for $20.

Can't disagree. Ultimately it's a preference thing. I did look and see the 4000 only holds slightly more than the 3000 so I'm thinking you're right on the weight.
The rod combo being a medium on the 4000 and medium light for 3000 is really the difference.
To the original poster - if you want to be on the side that bigger fish are possible, go 4000. If you want to cast a little easier and be able to go down to smaller, lighter baits and smaller fish to target, the 3000 is more in line.

A 7ft medium light rod (the 3000 combo) is probably not the right rod for surf fishing? Sounds too short. 9ft minimum for surf probably?

Thanks. I know it's not always possible, but I'm hoping to find something that can be as general purpose as possible. I think I'll go with the 4000. Thanks!

I fish in San Diego and have a fishing rod problem
I mostly use artificial and use a 7'0 G Loomis with a 3000 reel most of the time. If I go to actually fish the surf or want to use real bait (dead or alive) I have a 9'0 penn conflict with a 4000 reel.
These are all good points and the east answer to the "will this work" question is, it depends.

thanks! I'm in northern California, the surf can get intense some days, but I'm not usually out on those days anyway 😂
I just got into fishing recently and also already have some 9-12ft rods (also go crab snaring on occasion), so I can swap the reels to different rods if the conditions require it

Picked up the 4000, thanks for all the tips!
