Any ideas on a good seabass combo? This is what I think im getting for Xmas....its for the "jumbo seabass" trips on the frances, and maybe it will double as a striper combo but im not worried about that, main purpose is for those big sea-biscuits.

Been looking at the Newell 300 series reels.....first for me, to consider a reel other than Penn....are there any good penn reels for this purpose?
And what about a rod to match up?
i dont know how accurate this is but on the Frances fleet calendar under the extended jumbo seabass trip, it says:

10-16oz. sinkers, 5/0 hooks, 30-50# mono line
So the combo must handle this well. I'll load it up with 50# powerpro, i guess.

Thanks!
