great rod and reel combo, March 10, 2009
By jm2fly from Virginia Beach

"I have two of these and would like to have more. I've used it to catch 28" Red Fish and large Speckled trout. They are a strong proven design that takes a beating and keeps on performing. For the money it's the best one out there."

Great striper combo, December 22, 2007
By Bibberino from Fairfax, VA

"I initially started out with 2 of the 550 combos and was so pleased with their performance, I added 3 more that I and several of my fishing buddies use to fish for stripers in the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel area. All have performed without any problems whatsoever. The reel is well-balanced to the 7' rod, and the reel's extra long handle greatly eases effort needed to crank in deep running "stretch" baits. When using braided line, am able to cast great distances around the CBBT bridge abutments, which minimizes danger of banging boat into the bridge during strong currents. The rods also have sufficient sensitivity to easily detect slight taps by striper when using swim baits (have been very successful using new Storm swim baits this year), Very pleased with this product - just make sure to rinse saltwater off after each use and should last long time."
