    Bad Azz rod

    This rod helps get the bait out to where the fish are. Love it.

    Carnage® III Conventional Surf Rod --11 Reel Seat

    This is the worst surf rod designed. The reel seat on the 11 ft rod is too small for both my Penn 525 Mag 4 and Avet 5.3. These are reels that many surf casters use. I returned the rod to get a refund at a significant price. Buyers should be warned about the size of the reel seat.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear the reel seat size did not accommodate your reels and that it led to a return. Your comments will be shared with our product team to help improve future designs. We appreciate your honesty and hope to better meet your needs in the future.

    Excellent rod

    Top of the line rod. I can’t tell the difference between my Carnage III and custom surf rods. High quality components Fuji reel seat, Fuji guides. Good casting distance.

    Nice Rod

    Four stars, only because I haven't fished this rod yet!

    The rod appears very well made. My Newell 332-5 & 228-5 fishing reels fit the Penn reel seat perfectly.

    Looks like a 5 star rod!
