Would you recommend this for carp

I personally was a little disappointed with the rod. Too thick of a shaft. I already had a better one. Put for the price it may be ok

would this work for steelhead?

I bought mine for sturgeon fishing. I would use a lighter rod for steelhead

Seemed to be of good quality

Don't waste your time

Looks like a good rod. Definitely feels like it when I received it twice! First time it was delivered the bottom part was missing. Talked with customer service and they sent a replacement. Second one got here and two guides were broken. Packaging is the problem. It's shipped with no protection and nothing holding it together but a thin plastic bag. I won't be trying a third time. Waste of time and waste of a good product that's just sent out to get destroyed in the shipping process.

Great fishing rod, but the penn 303 made in China is Junk

I bought this rod I think two seasons ago, I give it a ten star rating but the reel I ordered for it from Amazon a Penn 300 series made in China is Junk and at a hundred bucks it was a rip off
