The feature-rich Offshore Angler™ Sea Lion™ Spinning Combo combines 2 stellar performers at a price any angler can afford.
The powerful Offshore Angler Sea Lion Spinning Reel uses a 5-bearing system to assure smooth performance and includes our Powerlock™ instant anti-reverse. This dependable workhorse boasts a rotor, frame, and sidecover of graphite. To fight corrosion, the aluminum spool is double anodized, the drive gear is zinc alloy, and the main shaft is stainless steel. Once the hook is set, this baby uses a fiber and stainless steel drag stack to provide a maximum drag of up to 35 lbs. Other features include an anodized machined-aluminum handle, a solid stainless steel bail wire, and an oversized, hard-chrome-plated line roller, all of which assure a long service life.
Our Sea Lion Spinning Rod uses a 2-piece, tubular, E-glass blank for superior strength. The rod sports stainless steel guides with aluminum oxide inserts to reduce friction and increase casting distance. A graphite reel seat features cushioned, corrosion-reistant, stainless steel hoods. EVA grips ensure a comfortable grip throughout a long day of fishing.

Very DurableI was out deep sea fishing on the California coast, and I was able to fight a 58.8 pound white seabass on this rod. Very durable and very good for your money

Great Catfish Combo!My review for this rod is from the perspective of using it primarily for catfish and is a little bit length but hopefully this will be helpful. I own an offshore angler trophy plus combo that I purchased 15 years ago and it's still going strong. Great for catfish and saltwater use. I have the 8' version which is a little awkward while fishing from my raft so I wanted something a little shorter. Bass Pro still sells the Trophy Plus combo, but the reels don't see as good as the one that came with the one I purchased years ago. I looked at over 20 different catfish combo either in person or from reviews online and they all seem to have questionable reel quality, Even the rods in the $50-$70 range.
When I picked up the Sea Lion combo, I knew instantly that this was a quality combo that would withstand heavy catfish. Bass pro sells the reel itself for $50 and the exact model of the rod was not available separately, but other similar rods were going for $35+ so at $60 for a 7' combo, this was a steal. Plus they spooled it with 20lb mono for free (they will do this for any of their brand rods and include a 1 year warranty).
I caught a 30 inch hard fighting catfish this weekend and the rod handled it with no problem. The tip is a little stiffer than my other rods and I was wondering how well I would be able to detect a bite, but I had no problem at all and I could feel the fish fighting the whole time. Others may have other preferences in term of sensitivity but to me this offers the perfect balance of strength and sensitivity for large fish. Even though this is not marketed for catfish, I feel its way better than any other catfish combo in its price range, plus you get the corrosion resistance benefits of having a rod/reel build for saltwater, because I do plan on using it for rockfish too.

Outstanding combo.This combo is very stout massive reel holds 1.1 miles of braided 20 pound test which means with patience,there isn't a fish out there that can run away from you.many features make this reel unbeatable,and the rod is plenty strong enough.this combo rivals the bill dance catfish combo in being the best combo out there for the money.both perform.similar,but the sea lion has extra features and a bigger reel.

Great Deal!I bought the 10' rod and reel combo for my fishing trips. This rod & reel combo is one of the best I have used. It can be used on any type of fish. The feel of the bite can be felt easily and brought in with ease. I really like this combo.

Solid PerformerI purchased two of the 7ft Sea Lion combos for my wife and myself to use while coastal fishing and to do some "light" duty offshore fishing in mid July. Having used them every weekend since up until the weekend of 8/5, I can say that they are solid performing purchases, definitely worth the price, and give a decent bang for the buck. There's nothing like snagging into approximately 25lbs of seaweed to test both Rod & reel integrity as well as line strength (both are spooled with #30 braided Spider Wire in Hi-vis yellow)

Good deal and works wellGot the 9' rod & reel Sea Lion combo at my local BPS a couple months ago and have used it quite a bit offshore. Spooled it with 30 lb Cajun mono and have been pleased so far. The 5 bearing gear train is smooth and the drag adjustment is likewise smooth and linear. Have landed quite a few good-sized snapper and grouper with it and have zero complaints. Definitely a good saltwater setup for those looking for good performance without breaking the bank.
I’m a beginner and I was wondering how I know if this rod is for right hand or lefties?
Asked by: Sam amin
Thank you for your question!
This reel is actually ambidextrous, so you'd be able to configure it for use with either your right or left hand.
I hope this information helps!

Is this a biginer rod?
Asked by: Tmoney145
It's easy enough to use for a beginner,but it's definitely not a beginner in terms of price and practicality.It is a bit overkill for the novice fisherman

I just moved to AL and I will be fishing off a pier. I have never saltwater fished. What is the way to go on a combination rod and reel Length of rod ect, Thanks
Asked by: ed12
OK. If you will be using it strictly on the pier, I would go with 7 - 8 foot. Reason is some piers are covered and a longer rod may get in the way when casting. Also, if it is a crowded pier a longer rod will take more room to cast. If you are going to do some surf fishing also, I would go 8 - 9 foot. I would also change the line that may come on it from mono to braid. Braid is smaller and can get higher strengths and more can go on the reel. Definitely make sure it is a saltwater reel as others will pit up quickly and be ruined. Hope this helps.
