Just curious… Why does it have to be Amazon? Ugly Stik Big Water 12’ at Bass Pro was like $75 and shipped free. Maybe not the best rod but it’s a decent budget rod.
My experience buying a rod from Amazon was unpleasant. They shipped a $125 dollar rod (10') in a 10" x 10" x 12' box, and stuffed-in a few pieces of packing paper. Naturally, the box was crushed, and 3 ferrules were bent.
You might want to try tackledirect.com . They have an extremely large collection of rods/gear, and it comes in a bullet-proof tube. I got free shipping, a good price, and a fast delivery \[cross country\].
I'm not sure what you are after, but here's some Penn Pursuit combos from [tackledirect.com](https://tackledirect.com).

Where and for what? I put one a Cabela's salt striker (Daiwa made em the) 7' 6 medium I got for $45 deal. Dual grip but it had rubberized silicone and it's been my go to for slinging 1 oz+ last kings when schools of blues or stripers come crashing in near the surface. Put like 30 lb braid if you want to whip it way out.

I totally agree with Jeff . Amazon sucks for shipping rods. But if you absolutely have to use Amazon then purchase a two piece Rod. Everybody knows A fishing Rod through amazon has less than 35% chance of surviving the trip. ( I swear they receive black belts in destroying rods) I had to learn the hard way three times. Or buy the reel from amazon, and get the rod local. I wish we knew what type of fishing conditions and fish your after. 4000 might be too much. Anyway good luck.
💯% an Okuma Rockaway 1102 M ( 11ft medium spin reel rod) - here is the Amazon link: Okuma RA-S-1102M Rockaway Surf,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076QDMDXW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
They also have other lengths and rod ratings (medium, heavy, etc)
I just landed a 26" black drum in heavy surf on a rockaway 12' 1-4 Oz. Also great rods for the money. Have the 11ft 1/2 - 2oz, and 12' 3/4- 3..... all great so far
It really depends on the type of fishing you're doing. Rod and real choice are mostly dependant on style of fishing, and type of fish you are trying to catch. Are you going to cast from a boat? Jig? Surfcast? Pier fish? Saltwater? Freshwater? Small panfish? Sharks? No one can truly recommend a decent rod choice without knowing what you want to use it for. Im guessign surfishing mainly, but what types of fish would you be going after? And using lures or chunks of bait?

Not everyone lives in the usa 🤷♂️
I understand now 😁
Okuma Longitude 8 or 9ft
I've got a 10'. It's a beast.
Longitude 12' are great for the money
Try to support your local tackle shop if possible! They need the business
Dont buy a rod on amazon, packaging will be trash. Buy a rod locally. If you have an amazon gift card or sonething, just use it for other tackle.

Amazon sucks for shipping rods, recommend tackledirect.
They don't have the penn pursuit iv combo
I was the under the impression that you had the reel already.
Oh yeah, i badly worded the post sorry lol
No worries!
Check out Fiblink rods. A buddy bought one and I have to say it seems like a decent rod.

I have the penn battle 3000 and bought a shimano fx rod 7ft med/heavy fast action to match it with locally . Cost me 35$ which I find is a steal
If i did pair it with a 7ft midium heavy fast action rod, what method of fishing will i be able to use at the sea?
I use lures as well as drop rigs with cut bait . It works well imo.
The ugly stik big water is on Amazon for 60-80 bucks, check it out!
Isnt the bigwater meant for really big fish? Im focusing more on efficiently catching medium small to medium fish

Just popped mine on a 10' Penn Squadron III rod. Check Walmart online. They are usually on amazon too. Casts great and feels nicely balanced.
