I have an 8 foot Offshore Angler Power Stick that was paired with a Penn SSG 500 ... did not like the reel at all, doesn't cast, even with mono. Last year I picked up a Conflict 500 ... great pair! This is my go-to set up. Light and confortable, cast very well. I have 30# braid. Throws everything from light rubbers to 2 oz wood pencils. The rod is nice ... light ... and very affordable (<$80 at Bass Pro). Great off the beach.
