  • Awesome Rod and does what it’s supposed to. Great price
Pattern Name: Spinning Rod Style: 8' Medium Heavy -2pcs
Amazing Berkeley Rod. Paired with a size 5000-7500 reel “I used an 6000” and you can shore, surf, pier or jetty fish with confidence. Love the white color it helps see big hits late at night and it’s very sturdy. Its tip is not as fast as an ugly stick but no where near as stiff as a down-rigger or jigging or trolling rod. With 20 lb line I was consistently tossing 40-60 yard casts easily with no worry of popping the line or snapping the rod with both 2 and 3oz weights and I would not hesitate to use 4oz as well. I casted bunker on large striper circle Hooks size 5/6 and 7 hooks so nice chunks and also whole squid and whole belly clams and it’s seems to cast the same distance unlike if it was a very soft fast flimsy tip which seems to cast farther with lighter bait and poor cast with heavy bait. This rod doesn’t care what on the end of the hook and cast equally impressive. Landed a larger stripper first nite out from a jetty and landed 2 huge sand sharks approaching 20lbs and the Rod handled them with ease. Ordering another one and going to pair it with a penn 7500 reel with bait runner. Just to good of a Rod to not have 2. This finishes my salt water package now with two 8’ three 7’ one 9’ and one 10’. After falling for these 8’ I’ve relegated my trusty 7’ foot rods to lure only like poppers and sp minnow and spoons. They seem to cast better with lures and the extra 1’ and stiffness of this 8’ berkley makes me feel confident that even a 40+ pound stripper is coming home with me and I’m not losing the rod or line or reel. Sometimes I don’t want to fish with a 10’ or even a 9’ Rod as they are big and clumsy and I don’t need 75-100 yard cast. 8’ is the perfect size to be nimble yet have the same ability in power as a nice 9 or 10’ with only minuscule less casting distance. It does make you feel a lot more secure versus having a 7’ which even ugly sticks and a nasty big gorilla blue or cow stripper I’ve seen them snap in two love this rod!!!! Thanks Berkley for such a great rod and I’m a customer for life ... show more

  • Buy these rods. They are a great value for what you get from them.
Pattern Name: Spinning Rod Style: 8' Medium Heavy -2pcs
2nd Update: One month into the 2026 Cobia season, my 6th season with these rods, and all my rods are still intact, don’t look beat up, and still handling Cobia and pesky cow nose rays. At this point all the rods could break and I would not be disappointed with the service life I have received from them. I would just purchase 6 more! Update: I have used these rods for Cobia fishing for 4 seasons and am prepping for season 5. Not one of the rods has failed yet. I have to admit my friends took one look at these rods when they were new and expected them not to survive one season. Looking at other reviews it appears damage during shipping is the biggest problem with these rods. I have been using these rods for 3 seasons now paired with bait runner style reels exclusively fishing cut and live bait for Cobia in the Chesapeake Bay. I have 6 of them and they all have worked flawlessly catching Cobia up to 75 lbs so far. The 8’ length has worked great for getting around the outboard motor on the boat we use when fighting fish. I also have the bait caster style of this rod and they also have worked flawlessly when trolling for mackerel and bluefish. I highly recommend these rods as they are a great value for the low cost and performance that you get for that cost. ... show more

  • Big fish rod
Pattern Name: Spinning Rod Style: 8' Medium Heavy -2pcs
Great rod real sturdy and my reel fit perfectly on it I can't wait to get on the Mississippi River and catch them Big catfish with it. I put 225yrds of 20lb test on it so I know I'm going to catch big fish with this set-up. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a rod that will handle big fish. ... show more

  • Well worth the $29.99 I paid.
Pattern Name: Spinning Rod Style: 8' Medium Heavy -2pcs
I'm giving this 4 stars simply because I've only used it 1 time. In that 1 time down on the coast it performed like a champ while casting Into the Gulf of America . 30# braid Along with A 3/4 oz Kastmaster . Soft grip , Medium / heavy action rod that acted like medium \ heavy action. The 2 pc rod was easy for travel in a car. For the price you just can't beat it. I recommend this rod. ... show more

  • A beefy Toyota Corolla
Pattern Name: Spinning Rod Style: 8' Medium Heavy -2pcs
Hard to beat for the price!! This rod isn’t anything special and that’s what I love about it. Handles up to 4oz decently, it’s a little wobbly not too stout, but perfect for cut bait fishing which is what I use it for. I’ve put this rod through it’s paces on the river striper fishing in some heavy current. Casts well enough I have it paired to a Quantim Optix 60 reel (another insane deal of a reel) with 50lb hi-vis braid. I even tried crab snaring with it, probably won’t do that again as I’m throwing at least 8oz snares BUT it handled it lol. Also we landed this nice striper on the setup and it handled well. I’d say give it a go it’s a solid go to rod for bait fishing or to let a friend use and you don’t really need to worry about it getting messed up. ... show more

  • Great for catfish!
Pattern Name: Spinning Rod Style: 8' Medium Heavy -2pcs
This Berkley rod is a great heavy action rod. I’ve used it for four months now, and if you catch catfish like me, it’s the best on the market. The 8’ length allows me to cast a country mile. The rod is offered at a great price, so for lunker fish, give it a try!
