Comments about Special Senator Conventional Saltwater Combos:
I recently purchased two Penn 320 combos for near shore and offshore South Carolina Fishing. this combo was very highly recommended by captains and deck hands as being well suited for Cobia, Mackerel/ trolling and bottom reef fishing. And if an occasional bill-fish gets on, it can be handled. The combo is well priced and is very competitive.

- Durable
- Easy To Use

Comments about Special Senator Conventional Saltwater Combos:
Used this rod/reel combo on many saltwater fishing charters, so when I bought my own boat it was the one I had to have for trolling/bottom fishing. Penn is a great company, and I would recommend this combo to a friend.

Comments about Special Senator Conventional Saltwater Combos:
This combo is ideal for deep sea fishing, or trolling fishing.
The finition is very good, for a price not too much Hight.
I yet had a similar product from Penn since more than 20 years, and I enjoy replacing it by similar from the same brand.

Comments about Special Senator Conventional Saltwater Combos:
An excellent choice for the money for larger species. Could use a little more tip sensitivity, but where backbone is needed a good choice. I have put 113H2's on 2 other rods, but this combo is the way to go from a money perspective. Good for trolling or dropping. I provide the tackle for guests on my boat and I can just hand these out without worry. The oversized handles are a plus. A fifth star would probably cost another $250 - law of diminishing returns.
Pros
- Durable
Cons
- Difficult To Cast
Best Uses
- Ocean Fishing
- Trolling
