Product Details and Uses

The PENN Pursuit V Labrax Combo is a rod and reel combination specifically designed for targeting seabass (Labrax is the genus name for the European seabass). This combo is built to offer reliable performance at an affordable price, making it a popular choice for both new and experienced anglers.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the features and specifications for the 8′ 20-50g/3000T model:

General Description

The PENN Pursuit V Labrax Combo is a perfectly matched setup for anglers who want to target seabass and other saltwater predators from shore or a boat. The rod and reel are engineered to work together, providing a balanced and effective tool for a wide range of lure fishing techniques. The “V” in the name indicates it’s the latest iteration of the Pursuit series, featuring updated materials and components.

Rod Specifications

Length: 8 feet (2.44m). This is a versatile length for seabass fishing. It’s long enough to achieve excellent casting distance from the shore or a pier, allowing you to cover a lot of water and reach distant feeding fish. It’s also a good length for fishing from a boat, as it provides leverage for fighting fish without being cumbersome.
Lure Rating: 20-50g. This is a medium-heavy rating, ideal for the types of lures commonly used for seabass. It can handle a variety of lure types, including heavier hard lures, jigs, and larger soft plastics, and is suitable for fishing in areas with stronger currents or in rougher conditions.
Action: The rod has a fast action. This means the tip is sensitive enough to feel subtle bites and work lures effectively, while the powerful backbone provides the strength to set the hook and control a fighting fish.
Sections: 2-piece. This is a practical and convenient design that makes the combo easy to transport and store.
Blank Material: The rod is built with a lightweight and responsive carbon blank, designed to be strong and durable.
Guides: It features saltwater-proof K-type guides. The “K-type” design helps prevent wind knots and tangles, which is a common frustration when using braided line, and the saltwater-proof construction ensures durability in harsh environments.
Handle: The handle is made from high-density EVA foam, providing a comfortable and secure grip even when wet.

Reel Specifications

Model: PENN Pursuit V 3000T. The “3000” size is a popular choice for this type of fishing, offering a good balance of line capacity and a compact design. The “T” likely indicates a “Tangle-free” or specialized spool design.
Drag System: The reel is equipped with PENN’s renowned HT-100 carbon fiber drag washers. This system provides a smooth, consistent, and powerful drag, with a maximum drag of around 5.5 kg (12 lbs), giving you the stopping power needed for a strong seabass.
Bearings: It features a 4+1 sealed stainless steel ball bearing system. The sealed bearings provide smooth operation and protection against corrosion from saltwater.
Body: The reel has a lightweight and corrosion-resistant graphite body.
Gear Ratio: The gear ratio is 6.2:1, which is a high-speed retrieve. This allows you to quickly pick up slack line and effectively work fast-moving lures.
Line Capacity (Mono):
- 0.28mm / 180m
- 0.31mm / 150m
- 0.36mm / 110m
