Quick take
A 10-foot 2-piece medium-heavy combo with Penn 8000 reel for saltwater and large-water fishing.
This is a 10-foot, two-piece medium-heavy spinning combo that pairs an Ugly Stik Bigwater rod with a Penn Pursuit IV 8000-size reel. The rod blends graphite and fiberglass with stainless steel guides, and the reel carries HT-100 drag washers and four sealed ball bearings. Its length and power suit surf and pier anglers who need to cast baits out past the breakers and handle bigger fish.
