PENN REEEEEELS!!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The TLD 15 lever drag is a great troller and The Sealines are bullet proof and cast like a dream.
Was not trying to bash Penn, I used them for years as a boat fisherman but killed way to many of them on the kayak to be worth the even low price for me. Guys who take better care of their equipment would likely do better with them than I.

I dont know if youve notced but I beat the hell out of my gear. The 500s just need a decent cleaning every once in a while.

While I agree that Sealines and such are better they are not on sale for dirt cheap with a rod. Personally I fish Avets and Newells most the time but I still have a stash of 500's and squiders

Thanks for heads up man! I'm on my way to pick up another one of these great combos. I bought one one of these combos at full retail a couple years ago as my bait rod for the kayak and would love to get another. My friebds can use them easily when I take them along, and they hold up really well. I also like the "stiff" clicker on the penn 500. It makes it harder for big macs to pull line. And it has lasted twice as long as my TLD 20/40 with half the maintnance.

Good lookin out man, seeya on the water.

Just picked one up. Thanks for the info.

Does anyone have any info about the rod?

For what it's worth, the Shimano TLD15 is going for $99.97 - $25 from the coupon = $75. They were on clearance at mine.
