Guys
I have a really good problem. I really lucked into this deal. I got some reward points at work a while back. It's a website where you can pick out things and use the points to redeem them. I figured it was mostly junk so I never looked until today. I realized I got some sweet options. I can choose from about a hundred reels and a few less rods than that. I am looking at a Penn V 4500. I need a lighter weight reel for surf, jetty, pier, wading, fishing etc. but still has some strength so this fits. I would get the 6500 if available, but it jumps from 4500 to 7500 and above. I think the 7500 is heavier than I want for slot reds, trout, flounder etc. if I go with the 4500 I got enough points for a rod. I think this 7' 3" penn allegiance 8 - 15 pound rod might work best. Its got Fujinguides too. I assume I can still run 20 pound braid on that if I want to. The other option is the penn power stick 7' 0", but it looks to be 12 to 30 pound which might be too heavy. There is also a 6 to 12 pound 6'9" allegiance option. Or should I just buy a completely different rod? What do you guys think?
Thanks,
Tate
