Let’s begin!

The 9 Best Fishing Rod And Reel Combos For Beginners

Before we begin, some terms like power and action may sound foreign to you, so I’ll go through them quickly.

Power simply means how strong a rod is. Action denotes how sensitive a rod is. Max drag weight is a bit more complicated, but basically, the higher it is, the stronger your reel is.

There’s a lot more to fishing than just these few terms, but these are the more important ones. You’ll pick them up as you go, so for now, let’s get started with the reviews.

Best Overall

1. Penn Fierce III Spinning Combo

• Power: Medium
• Action: Extra Fast
• Ball Bearings: 4+1
• Max Drag Weight: 15 pounds

Starting the ball rolling is the Penn Fierce III Spinning Combo. This incredible fishing combo excels in every aspect while remaining light and easy to use, making it the best fishing combo there is for new anglers.

Penn didn’t include any information on this combo’s weight, but even if they did, weight isn’t the only factor contributing to lightness. Balance and weight need to go hand in hand, and having fished for 21 years, I can safely say the Penn Fierce III is remarkably light. I found casting quite easy with this combo because the reel seat placement puts the reel right where it should be for a balanced feel when casting. This, coupled with the rod and reel actually being light, means you can cast all day with this combo and still feel fresh at the end of the day.

Another amazing feature of this combo is the HT-100 drag washers. Normally, drag increases as line leaves the reel. But with HT-100, the drag washers get hotter so that their friction decreases, counteracting the increase in drag from line leaving the reel. This makes for a constant drag, which in turn translates to super smooth retrieval when up against hard-fighting fish. Without the issue of inconsistent drag, you’ll have an easier time reeling in fish, making this combo even more suitable for beginners.

So now that we’ve established how well-suited this combo is for newbies, let’s see how it fares in other aspects.

Featuring stainless steel and aluminum parts, the Penn Fierce III is extremely long-lasting. You’ll have stainless steel ball bearings and guides paired with an aluminum reel body and sideplates. Stainless steel and aluminum are naturally hardy materials and are even protected by an aluminum oxide layer. This layer is created by stainless steel and aluminum reacting with oxygen and keeps them safe from corrosion. Combining stainless steel and aluminum’s natural toughness with this protective layer, the result is one of the toughest fishing combos around.

As for sensitivity, you might be wondering what extra fast action means. Well, in layman terms, it means the Penn Fierce III Combo’s rod is as sensitive as it gets. You’ll be able to pick up even the softest bites from tiny fish and will certainly have no trouble detecting the bites of big fish.

Perhaps the only area this combo is lacking in is strength. Don’t get me wrong, the Penn Fierce III Combo is still strong with medium power and 15 pounds of maximum drag. However, there are stronger combos out there. With this combo, you’ll only be able to handle medium and slightly larger sized fish. Anything bigger, and you’ll have a hard time reeling it in.

Another area that can be improved on is the packaging. When I ordered this, it came to me in a box that was rather thin. Luckily, the rod and reel itself didn’t sustain any damage, but the packaging definitely could be improved on.

Those minor cons aside, the Penn Fierce III Combo is a first-rate rod and reel combo that delivers on all fronts. It’s also priced quite reasonably. If you’re looking for the best beginner’s combo that money can get, look no further.

Best For Fly Fishing

2. Wild Water Starter Fly Rod Combo

• Power: Medium
• Action: Moderate Fast
• Ball Bearings: 1
• Max Drag Weight: 12 pounds

Next up is a comprehensive fly fishing combo catered to those new to fishing – the Wild Water Starter Fly Rod Combo. Created with beginners in mind, everything, from the length to the weight and action, is optimised for new fly fishermen to try out the various fly fishing styles.

First off, this fly fishing rod measures 9 feet, which is ideal for experimenting with different casting techniques. This is also just the right length to not be awkward in smaller waters, and still have enough backbone for larger bodies of water.

Next, the moderate fast action is stiff enough that beginner anglers will focus on using leverage to cast instead of arm power. At the same time, it’s also flexible enough to forgive snappy movements that would otherwise snap off your fly.

Finally, this is a 5-weight fly rod. For fly fishing, the heavier your rod, the stronger it’ll be. Everyone starts out with a 5-weight fly rod because it’ll allow you to cast the entire range of flies (fly fishing lures). You’ll be able to cast a dry fly accurately and still have the backbone to throw heavier nymphs.

In short, this fly fishing rod is perfect in every aspect for those looking to start fly fishing. On top of the fly rod, you’ll also be getting a fly reel, 9 flies, fly line, a fly box with a capacity of 372 flies, and a nylon carrying case. Inside the nylon carrying case, there’s a rod tube, reel pouch, and plenty of space for other fishing gear. Basically, you’ll have every piece of fishing gear you need for fly fishing.

You’ll also be glad to hear that this fly fishing combo comes with stainless steel guides and an aluminum reel body with stainless steel internal components. In other words, this is a sturdy combo that can take lots of abuse.

The only thing I don’t like about the Wild Water Fly Combo is that we had to manually find many of its specs. We had to rely on feeling to deduce the power, action, and drag because Wild Water didn’t bother listing any of these on their product page. It took us quite a bit of casting with different fishing lines to find each of those specs.

Other than that though, the Wild Water Starter Fly Rod Combo is perfect in every way for a beginner, not to mention it’s very comprehensive. For those going fly fishing, this is the best rod and reel combo for you.

Best For Bass

3. Abu Garcia Black Max Baitcast Combo

• Power: Medium Heavy
• Action: Fast
• Ball Bearings: 4+1
• Max Drag Weight: 15 pounds

For those planning to mainly target bass, this is the combo you’ve been looking for. Baitcasters are no doubt harder to use, but if you’re going after bass, baitcasters will yield the best results.

It’s no secret that baitcasting tackle requires more skill to use. Even intermediate anglers sometimes shy away from a baitcaster. But there’s no denying the benefits they bring to the table. Bass fishing is synonymous with heavier lines, often in the range of 15-pound line and above. Spinning tackle just can’t cast far with such heavy line, and you’ll need a baitcaster to get the job done.

The good news is, the Abu Garcia Black Max Combo is as light and well-balanced as it gets. Learning the casting technique is no mean feat, but at least this beginner-friendly combo minimises the effort it’ll take. Weighing a mere 14.4 ounces, this bass fishing rod and reel enables you to keep casting over and over as many times as you need.

What’s more, the medium heavy power and 15 pounds of drag are enough for even the largest bass. On the other hand, the fast action is sensitive enough to feel the tugs of small bass too.

It’s also worth noting that this combo is equipped with stainless steel bearings and guides for a long lifespan.

All in all, you should seriously consider the Abu Garcia Black Max Baitcast Combo if you’re intending to fish bass. It won’t be easy learning how to cast with a baitcaster, but your efforts will pay off when you start landing bass after bass.

Best For Surf Fishing

4. Penn Battle II Spinning Combo

• Power: Medium Heavy
• Action: Moderate Fast
• Ball Bearings: 5+1
• Max Drag Weight: 25 pounds

Another fishing rod combo from Penn, the Penn Battle II Spinning Combo was made for fishing in the surf. Surf fishing rods need to be longer and more durable, and that’s exactly what you get with the Penn Battle II.

Like the Penn Fierce III, the Penn Battle II also comes with stainless steel bearings and an aluminum body and sideplates. The difference is, this combo uses aluminum oxide guides instead of stainless steel. The coating that helps aluminum resist corrosion is aluminum oxide, so just imagine if your entire material was aluminum oxide rather than only the layer. Needless to say, the Penn Fierce II Combo is exceptionally durable, even more so than the Penn Fierce III.

You’ll also notice that this combo is stronger, with medium heavy power and 25 pounds of stopping power. Surf anglers will appreciate this additional strength, especially when facing the larger fishes in the sea.

It does lose out with its moderate fast action though, since a moderate fast rod is less responsive than an extra fast one. Still, since no one goes to the surf looking for small fish, there’s no need for such a responsive rod that can detect small fish. As such, I wouldn’t consider the lack of responsiveness a real drawback.

The real drawback is the weight. The reel is light for a size 6000, but the rod is heavier than average. This adds up to a combo with an average weight, which isn’t that ideal for new anglers. Now, you might be wondering what this combo is doing on this list if it isn’t that lightweight. Well, the thing is, given how long surf fishing rods have to be, there is a limited selection of surf combos on the market. Many of them weren’t just not light, but heavy. The others that were a bit lighter didn’t fare so well in terms of quality and performance. That’s why we decided this was the best surf fishing combo for newbies.

And for those wondering why we picked the Penn Battle II Combo over the Battle III, here’s why. The Penn Battle III has a ton more drag, but that very drag is the problem. With so much drag, casting becomes an issue. Even on the lowest drag setting, there’s still a fair bit of friction. This is why we chose the Penn Battle II Combo instead.

Overall, this is the best rod and reel combo for the beginning surf fisherman. I just wish this exceptional combo was packaged better, which is the same issue as the Penn Fierce III. My Penn Battle III Combo’s box was in really bad shape when it arrived, although once again, the rod and reel were safe. The packaging aside, there’s no better beginner surf fishing combo than this.

Best Ease Of Use

5. Zebco 33 Spincast Combo

• Power: Ranges from Ultra Light to Medium Heavy
• Action: Moderate Fast
• Ball Bearings: 1
• Max Drag Weight: 8 pounds

Coming in at number 5 is the easiest combo to use – the Zebco 33 Spincast Combo.

Spincast combos are the easiest to use. With spincast combos, you press a button to release line and then press it again when you want to stop releasing line. This is much simpler than spinning reels where you’ll need to operate the bail, or baitcasters where you’ll need to adjust the brake. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that this is the easiest combo for beginners to use. As a matter of fact, it’s so easy to use that my preschool kid caught five fishes with it.

If a preschool kid can do it, anybody can. The problem is that spincast combos, as you can see from the specs, have very little drag. They also have small line capacities. With this little drag and line capacity, you’ll at most be able to snag a medium sized fish, and even then, you’d have a heck of a fight.

Spincast combos also tend to employ cheaper and lower-quality materials because they’re meant for kids and those just starting out. This is evident from how the only stainless steel part you have is the ball bearings.

Nevertheless, as spincast combos go, the Zebco 33 is the best available. For a spincast combo, it’s pretty light, strong, and tough. Plus, it’s very modestly priced. If you value ease of use above all, you could do a lot worse than the Zebco 33 Spincast Combo.

P.S. We had to manually experiment to find the drag because it wasn’t stated, so we might be off by a little.

Best Budget

6. Shakespeare Ugly Stik GX2 Combo

• Power: Ranges from Ultra Light to Medium Heavy
• Action: Fast
• Ball Bearings: 3+1
• Max Drag Weight: 8-12 pounds

Cheap but sturdy, this is a great combo for tight budgets.

Ugly Stik rods have a reputation for being indestructible. This is somewhat of an exaggeration, but that reputation didn’t come around by chance. All Ugly Stik rods are made with Ugly Tech construction, and the Ugly Stik GX2 is no exception. Seeing as Ugly Tech has birthed so many heavy-duty rods, it’s safe to say the Ugly Stik GX2 Combo will have no trouble withstanding the test of time.

Unfortunately, Ugly Tech comes at a cost – weight. With more fiberglass used to achieve this phenomenal toughness, there’s naturally more weight. The Ugly Stik GX2 Combo is a fair bit heavier than average, and to make matters worse, is unbalanced.

In essence, you’re trading lightness for extreme ruggedness. You’d get both with higher-end combos, but considering this combo is priced at only $60, you can’t complain much. You’ll be able to get started fishing for just $60 and the only downside is that you’ll get tired more quickly. Most combos at this price point are plain trash, so I’d say the Ugly Stik GX2 Combo is your best bet.

Best Smoothness

7. KastKing Sharky III Spinning Combo

• Power: Ranges from Medium to Medium Heavy
• Action: Ranges from Moderate Fast to Fast
• Ball Bearings: 10+1
• Max Drag Weight: 33-39.5 pounds

When it comes to smoothness, the KastKing Sharky III is unrivalled.

Boasting a staggering 10+1 ball bearings, the KastKing Sharky III is incomparably smooth. The more bearings a fishing reel has, the smoother its operation will be. A quick look at the other combos on this list should give you a good idea of this reel’s superior smoothness.

That isn’t the only reason to get this combo though. The KastKing Sharky III Combo is also powerful, responsive, and extraordinarily light at 13.1 ounces.

This combo does have one flaw though – durability. Its components aren’t as high-quality and hardy as the pricier combos. This means you’ll need to do a lot more maintenance to keep it working at a high level. If that’s something you can live with, and you’re searching for the smoothest beginner combo around, the KastKing Sharky III is seriously worth considering.

Best Budget Smoothness

8. KastKing Centron Spinning Combo

• Power: Ranges from Medium to Heavy
• Action: Ranges from Moderate Fast to Fast
• Ball Bearings: 9+1
• Max Drag Weight: 12-17.5 pounds

For those who liked the Sharky III but found it out of your means, you’re going to love the KastKing Centron Spinning Combo.

As a glance at the specifications would tell you, this combo only has one less ball bearing. It is, however, a whole 40 bucks cheaper. This difference in price can be attributed to its casting capabilities and lesser drag.

I believe the decreased drag is apparent, so I won’t touch on that. Instead, here’s my experience with the KastKing Centron’s casting capabilities.

Most of the time, spinning reels work great with light lines (below 10-pound test). With the KastKing Centron though, anything below 10-pound test causes nasty line twists. It doesn’t work particularly well with lines above 10-pound test either, although at least the issue of line twists isn’t present. Essentially, you’ll have a combo that’s completely incompatible with light lines and only casts heavier lines decently.

This isn’t ideal for sure, but frankly, for the smoothness and price you’re getting it at, there are bound to be some trade-offs. Newbies who put smoothness above all but need to keep costs down might want to give this combo a shot.

Best Budget Lightness

9. Okuma ROX Spinning Combo

• Power: Medium
• Action: Moderate Fast
• Ball Bearings: 1+1
• Max Drag Weight: 12 pounds

Last on our list is the Okuma ROX Spinning Combo.

Remember how earlier we said most combos at the $60 mark are garbage? The Okuma ROX is one of the few that aren’t.

Between the Okuma ROX and the Ugly Stik GX2, you’re choosing between durability and lightness. Unlike the Ugly Stik GX2 that’s heavy, the Okuma ROX is on the lighter end. The catch is that it’s nowhere near as heavy-duty as the Ugly Stik GX2 and will likely last you for only a couple of years.

Strength-wise, it’s not too bad with medium power and 12 pounds of stopping power.

Sensitivity-wise, it’s passable too with moderate fast action.

In a nutshell, the Okuma ROX is light and good enough to actually fish with properly, but won’t last very long.

Types Of Fishing Rods For Beginners

This section aims to let you know the different options available. This way, you won’t end up settling for a certain type of rod just because you didn’t know other types existed.

We left out spincast rods because they’re a minority and rarely seen. And anyway, we already covered a spincast rod earlier.

Spinning Rods

The first and most common type is spinning rods.

Spinning rods are easier to use than casting rods. Spinning rods are also better for casting light lines (below 10-pound test) and light lures.

This isn’t to say that you can’t cast heavy lines and lures with a spinning rod. Rather, it’s more a case where casting rods will cast heavy lines and lures farther than a spinning rod will. Vice versa, a spinning rod will cast light tackle farther than a baitcasting rod.

It’s also important to note that a spinning fishing rod must be paired with a spinning reel. It’s an extremely bad idea to pair a spinning fishing rod with anything other than a spinning reel as it’s more than likely you won’t even be able to cast properly, much less fish. Likewise, a casting rod must be paired with a casting reel.

Baitcasting Rods

As we just went through, casting rods will cast heavy lines (above 10-pound test) and lures farther. Once again, you can also cast light tackle with casting rods, but you won’t be able to cast very far.

On the other hand, you also get more casting accuracy. It’s possible to cast with pinpoint accuracy if you have the right technique and skill.

Having said that, baitcasting combos are also harder to cast with because with baitcasting reels, you have to apply the right amount of pressure with your thumb and adjust the brakes right.

Fly Fishing Rods

Fly fishing rods are quite special. They’re lighter and thinner than normal fishing rods and are meant to be used with weighted line. This is because the lures used are flies, which are much lighter than normal lures, and are almost weightless. If you used normal fishing line with flies, you’d have trouble even casting a short distance. For that reason, fly line has to be heavier (not the pound test, but the actual weight) than normal fishing line.

When you cast with a fly rod, you’ll see loops in your line because fly rods are like whips. The technique to master is arguably harder than even baitcasting rods. But as always, once you master the technique, you’ll have lots of fun fly fishing.

How To Choose The Best Fishing Rod And Reel Combo

As a newbie, you have very limited knowledge on choosing a good rod and reel. It’s easy to be fooled by a product page that will go on and on about how good the product is. This section aims to teach you exactly what to look out for to identify good (and bad) rod and reel combos.

Construction

The material that makes up the rod will decide its weight, sensitivity, strength, and longevity.

For rod blanks, the three main materials are carbon fiber (aka graphite), fiberglass, and composite.

Look to carbon fiber for a lighter and more sensitive, but weaker rod. Fiberglass will give you a stronger and tougher, but also heavier and less sensitive rod. Composite is a mix of carbon fiber and fiberglass. With composite, you get something that’s in the middle in each aspect.

In general, get carbon fiber rods for lightness and responsiveness. Get fiberglass for strength and toughness. And get composite rods for something in between.

Still, there are fiberglass rods that are lighter than graphite ones. There are also graphite rods that have more backbone than fiberglass ones. As such, you should also take the individual specs like length, power, and action into account, which we’ll be going through next.

Rod Length

The longer your rod, the more casting distance you’ll have. However, a longer rod also equals more weight.

A good length for a beginner fishing rod is 6-7 ft. This length provides the right amount of casting distance and weight. You’ll be able to fish many different styles and techniques with a 7 ft rod.

If you’re surf fishing though, shorter rods won’t cut it. Your rod lengths should range from 8-12 ft. 9-10 ft is a great starting point as you won’t meet super big fish but will still encounter some sizeable ones.

Rod Power And Action

Power is measured by how much force is required to bend your rod. To catch big fish, you’ll need more power. Power ranges from ultra light to extra heavy.

Action is measured by how close to the top your rod bends when you apply pressure on the rod tip. Rod action ranges from slow to extra fast. More sensitive rods (faster actions) allow you to feel the softer bites of smaller fish.

There isn’t a specific rod power or rod action recommended for beginners. After all, it never hurts to have a stronger or more sensitive rod. There are some who say slower action rods are easier to cast, but I disagree. There is a slight difference, but it really doesn’t matter once you’ve learned how to cast properly.

For a beginner fishing rod, I’d say that as long as you don’t go below medium power and moderate action, you’ll be fine. Any weaker and you won’t be able to face the larger fish species. Any less sensitive and you won’t be able to pick up many of the softer bites.

Rod Handle

The handle isn’t a big deal because what matters most is the performance of the rod. Nonetheless, it does contribute to your comfort when fishing and casting.

Similar to rod blanks, there are three main rod handle materials – cork, EVA foam, and rubber shrink tubing.

Cork is the most long-lived and provides a relatively secure grip. However, it can be a tad uncomfortable due to the hardness.

EVA foam is the most comfortable and will give you a firmer grip than cork.

Rubber shrink tubing gives the firmest grips. It’s also quite comfortable.

All three materials provide a secure grip even when wet, so it comes down to personal preference. If you want an extra firm grip, then go for rubber shrink tube handles. If you want more comfort, then you’ll want an EVA handle. Similarly, for longevity, go with a cork grip.

Just note that the handle shouldn’t be a deciding factor. It should be more of a secondary, smaller factor as compared to all the other above factors. Only take it into account when you’re satisfied with all the previous factors.

Reel Seat

The reel seat is another not-so-important factor. That’s why we didn’t talk about the handle and reel seat in our reviews of each beginner’s combo.

The reel seat is quite simple. As long as it’s sturdy, it’ll do.

If you want a lighter setup, then you should get a graphite reel seat, though you’ll have less durability. Otherwise, anything that’s sturdy will do, which includes stainless steel, titanium, and so on.

Ball Bearings

Ball bearings keep your reel spinning smoothly. The more you have, the smoother your reel will be.

Obviously, more bearings is better. But quality matters as much as quantity. The best materials for bearings are stainless steel and ceramic, so keep an eye out for those.

Reel Body

For the reel body, you’ll want materials that are rugged and corrosion-resistant. Some good ones to look out for are aluminum, stainless steel, carbon fiber, and titanium.

Lesser materials won’t stand up to saltwater use and will corrode in no time. Make sure to check for better materials if you’re going saltwater fishing. Even for freshwater fishing though, it’s also best to use more hardy materials. This way, your fishing reel will have a longer lifespan.

Reel Size

Reel size is something you won’t have to worry about. When you buy a rod and reel separately, it’s crucial that you select the right size reel to pair with your rod. But since you’re getting a rod and reel combo, the manufacturer will take care of the pairing.

So why then did we include reel size under this buying guide when you don’t need to worry about it? Well, we included this just to make it explicitly clear that you won’t have to even think about the reel size, so don’t go losing sleep over it.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a new angler, I’m sure you’ve got a ton of questions. Here are some of the most common questions that we often hear from beginners.

Does a good fishing rod make a difference for beginners?

More experienced anglers will be able to feel the difference the moment he or she holds a subpar rod. Beginners won’t. Going by that logic, a newbie wouldn’t know even if he or she was using a low-quality rod.

Despite that, I believe that having a good fishing rod is even more important for beginners than experienced anglers. It’s precisely because new fishermen have no idea what’s going on that they need a solid high-quality rod. When you face problems like backlash, being unable to cast far, or your rod straight up snapping in half, how would you know whether it’s your fault?

If you were using a crappy fishing pole, you’d never know whether it was yours or the rod’s fault.

Now if instead you were using a well-made high-quality rod, then you can be sure the problem lies with you. Only then can you reflect on what you did wrong and correct it.

Another reason to get a good quality rod is that learning fishing is no mean feat. You sure as heck don’t need a problematic rod making your life even harder.

So to sum it up, yes, a good fishing rod will definitely make a difference, and a huge difference at that.

Are expensive fishing rods worth the money for beginners?

Like we just explained, it’s vital to get a good fishing rod. But a good fishing rod doesn’t have to be expensive. In fact, this list has got quite a few great combos that are very moderately priced.

If you’re asking whether those super high-end rods above 200 or even 300 bucks are worth it, I’d say no.

$200 is still fine, but there’s not much to justify a $300 rod. This is because after a certain point, there isn’t much to improve on. For a hundred bucks more, you’ll at most get a rod and reel that’s lighter and more durable, and that’s it. I guess you could argue that it’s worth paying for, but I just don’t see the point.

How much would a decent fishing rod cost?

A decent fishing rod that just gets the job done shouldn’t cost more than 50-65 bucks. Of course, it’s going to come with some kind of catch. This could be that it’s too heavy, not durable, or just isn’t very strong. As long as it does the job though, I’d consider it a decent rod.

My Verdict

Going on your very first fishing trip is an exciting experience. As long as you have the right fishing rod and reel, you’ll be all set to have a ton of fun. And lucky for you, we’ve gone ahead and found the best combos for first-time fishermen.

By now, you should have found the rod and reel combo of your dreams. But if you’re still having trouble deciding, I’d recommend the Penn Fierce III Spinning Combo. You’ll have an easy-to-use A-grade combo that can weather the elements and possesses commendable strength and sensitivity. And that’s not even considering its state-of-the-art HT-100 drag washers and reasonable price point.

With your newfound awesome rod and reel, you’re ready to start dominating on the water. Before you go off though, if you don’t already have your lures, here are the best fishing lures. Now get out there and start catching fish!
