Thanks guys. I originally bought the 5500ss for its lightweight 14 oz and as I typically throw jigs and plastic for hours on end, it was a perfect match to the St Croix rod I got for half price at Decathelon. The combo is so light I can cast for hours w/o aggravating a rotator cuff repair. The combo, particularly the rod, can handle larger fish 20+ lbs as well as making cathching schoolies enjoyable. Although the 704z is a superb reel, at 19 oz it is a little heavy for my use. Any anti reverse problems with the 360 Slammer? I understand they have no reverse spooling. Can Penn screw up something that doesn't exist???
