How much is this Penn spinning reel worth?

I just bought a 7'0" Penn Captiva spinning reel combo, is this good for bass?

• is this a good rod/reel? will this be a good rod to fish for bass? what other fish? im using crankbaits

• Answer:

  Compared to even the graphite Penn Spinfisher's, the Captiva is mediocre. I've heard lots and lots of negative reviews about the Captiva. And it's a saltwater reel, anyway. No need for you to get it for bass. If your fishing crankbaits, a low gear-ratio baitcaster is really the best. Find a new or used David Fritts Signature Series reel from eBay, you can get them fairly cheap ($70 or lower) and pair it up with a used 7' fiberglass casting rod. Would be an awesome start for a new baitcaster set-up for fishing crankbaits. If you must have a spinning combo, check into the Pflueger President spinning combo's, get the 6740-size reel with the 7' M rod. You can buy these at Cabela's for $79.
