After purchasing two front drag extreme combos, I decided I needed a rear drag combo. The goliath penrod with the mx15 is a truly amazing product. The rod is solid and the reel is smooth as silk. The rear drag was awesome while adjusting during my battle with channel cats up to 5lbs. Thanks to penfishingrods.com, fishing is truly an exciting sport again!

This thing is awesome!
After watching IntenseAngler pull this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzxjzkidVMU world record on this ultralite setup, I knew I had to have one. I did go and look at the cheaper setups and just didn't want to ruin a perfectly good fishing day struggling with copycat jjjjjunk. I pulled the trigger on this setup and couldn't be happier. The pole is slick, compact, serves its purpose and the reel is solid. I am giving this one to my Dad and getting the FD100 AA all aluminum for myself. Anthony was awesome to work with and I couldn't recommend his customer service enough. Always available, ready to fish! Thanks & i will be telling ALL my friends. =)

Better than expected
Wanted something to store in my truck at all times, but not wanting to get a cheap 15 dollar rod that would break. After owning 2 ugly stiks, a shakespeare combo, mitchell combo, and an eagle claw travel rod, this little pen rod is by far the best ive used, cast smoother, very sensitive, easy to control, doesnt tangle when paired with 6lb fireline, and cast smoother and farther than i thought. Im over 6 feet tall and i can cast and control this with no problem. Overall extremely satisfied.

Solid product -> fun fishing!
I went fishing with this combo twice. The second time, I caught 5 carp, around 2 lbs each(photos on Flickr, march 2011). I had no problem with the drill, the rod bent nicely and took every action of the fish. Of course, you can't just reel them in, but this is where the fun comes in - at least for me. The rod and reel combo is no toy at all - the fish can be lead to where you want them. For me, I now have a nice equipment for spontaneous fishing session and/or backpacking trips, etc. I know now, that I can trust the stability of the rod AND, what's also important, the penfishingrod-team helped with many great tips and a very good service.
I can recommend it to anyone who likes short and easy fishing trips, great drills with "normal" fish ;) or is going on a trip and wants a light and high quality rod. And I think it makes for a good present for every fisherman from 5 to 95...
