I have a 146 that I have used from the boat for years, nice little real. Fine for most fish caught. A fish bigger than 25# and he'll have his way with you so you must play him better. 146 will probably be a little small capacity wise from the surf if on a long stick. I have been using 45 pound braid on mine. Lots of used but good squidders of all sizes on ebay and as Bigbo said there are tons of upgrades to the penn stuff, though they will run you some money and by that point you may as well get into a Shimano.
