Hey there, i just picked up a new combo, penn battle 5000 loaded w power pro 40 and a 8' mojo surf. I know penn ss's and love them and the older st croix ben dor rods, best i think and i have never used braid.

What do you think about the combo, seemed balanced, the battles a good reel, any problems with them yet? I think the mojo will be just as good as the older st croix and they told me it will handle the braid better.

Any tips on the braid, should i use a mono leader and can i use typical knots??

Thanks for the input!
