Went down to the "local" tackle shop to get a couple rods/reels so we could take my father-in-law fishing off a pier. (He's in a wheel chair.)

Ended up with a coule PENN Power Graph II PG3000 spinning reels and 2-piece, 8', Medium PENN Newport NPSF 802S M Rods.

I'm not sure how good these rods/reels are but they seem to be fine for snappers off the pier. They were also billed as a good, versitle combo that can be used in the surf...

Eventually I'll look into a better rod/reel but I'll make due for now. What do you guys / gals think? Please be honest!

Thanks,
Rob
