Hi everyone,

I'm looking to purchase a conventional saltwater rod to be used with Penn Squidder Model 145 and Model 146 bait casting reels. I'll be casting plastic baits threaded on lead head jigs, from a small open boat. Jigs & plastic tails will weigh between 3/4 ounce and 2 ounces.

Money is no object (I'm only buying one rod) but I don't want to pair these relatively heavy vintage Penn reels with a $300.00 light weight (i.e. fragile) graphite rod.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, guys!
