I just got a penn 9/0 senator rod and a penn 114h reel, and I wanted to start stripped bass fishing I was wondering the best setup was. I was wondering if it was a good idea to wire line troll with this setup. I want to be able to catch a couple different fish also cod, bluefish and strippers. Thanks.

Depends on the guides on the rod. Carboloy if they're metal ones or else you'll groove 'em.

Dunno about ceramics---but I'd guess they have to be SiC or better.

Killer1031> I have a couple of penn114h penns also!!!

Let me know the secret to catching "Strippers!!!" with that rig!!! just had to get that in before someone else did!!!

If ya didn't want to use wire, you could use braided line with lead core line especially if you are fishing in shallow water15-20 feet or less and just put out the number of colors that you want to get ya down the depth that ya want!!!

That rig will get ya some nice "Stripers!!!!!!"

Happy New Year!!!!

Welcome to SB.com

The 114 is a big reel nice for the Wire set up for stripers.....

But if you want Cod ....THE BRAID IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO.

[quick decision]

Good all around reel. Holds lots of wire. I have 3. I use it for trolling tubes or parchute rigs DEEP. Take the wire off when it gets to late in the year for stripers, load up with braid, and you have a nice cod set up.

do you think i should use like 300 ft. monel 60 lbs. test and some dacron as a backing. and could i catch cod with that setup.
