I have several of those rods with conventional guides, and it's a meatstick. I've never owned those reels, but you'll need something pretty beefy to balance the rod. You may even want to put some lead in the butt section. Off the cuff, I'd say a reel of about 25 oz. I have a Penn 6500 SS that would be a little small on that rod.
That will be a great rod for large eels, bucktailing, large plugs, etc.

With a nice rod like that, why would you want to put a Slammer reel on it? IMO they don't "cut the mustard" at all. If your funds are limited I would look around for a used 704 or even a 706. If you have the money, put a VS 200 on it and be set for life.

I agree. I had the Slammer 460 and it had problems within 2 years. And I only used it on the boat and rinsed it with fresh water after each trip.
The only Penn spinners I've had that have lasted have been the older ones and the newer SSM series. Keep in mind that like anything else, you get what you pay for. |
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
