Delivering dependable saltwater performance at an exceptional value, the PENN Pursuit V 5000 8' 2-Piece Medium Heavy Spinning Combo (PURV1225S802MH) is built to tackle demanding surf, jetty, and inshore environments. Factory-matched for optimal balance, this setup pairs a smooth 5000-size reel with an 8-foot 2-piece graphite composite rod, providing excellent casting distance and fish-fighting backbone while offering easy two-piece transport.

Corrosion-Resistant Reel Construction The Pursuit V 5000 spinning reel is built around a lightweight, corrosion-resistant graphite body designed to withstand harsh saltwater conditions. Inside, a 4+1 sealed stainless steel ball bearing system ensures fluid cranking during heavy retrieves. Fitted with PENN’s proven HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers, the reel provides up to 20 lbs of smooth, consistent drag pressure when fighting hard-running inshore gamefish. The Superline spool features rubber gaskets so you can spool braided line directly with no monofilament backing required.

Durable, Responsive 2-Piece Rod The 8'0" Medium Heavy rod features a graphite composite blank that balances sensitivity for detecting subtle strikes with the lower-end power needed to haul fish away from structure. Built with 2-piece construction for convenient storage and travel, it comes equipped with PENN’s proprietary 1-piece stainless steel Dura-Guides. These insert-free guides eliminate ceramic pop-outs and withstand heavy braided line wear without rusting. High-density EVA grips provide a firm, comfortable hold in wet conditions.
