Was just looking. He has some Star Stellar lites in stock that seem good for the price
I also left him a 10'6" and a 9' Legend surf to sell with very little use for $100 off retail.
Go to Ebay, and search for Penn Spinning Reels, or if you care to, search for Penn 550ss, or 650ss, and see what pops up. I use the 550ss on my 10' Fenwick, and could not ask for a better combination for throwing lures up to 2.5oz., and bait with a 3oz. sinker. I think 4oz. is just too much for that rod and combo. For throwing 1.5oz to 2.5 oz. lures, it's terrific. If the fish are hanging out further, I will go to the 650ss, with 14lb. test. I use 12lb. mono, and a 20lb. shock leader on the 550ss, and have taken Bass up to about 30lbs., and when fighting 8-14lb. Bluefish, what a great fight. Good luck with your new Fenwick.
My pleasure GSBB. I love to walk and cast, always looking for special pieces of water, and fish that are hunting for a meal. For that reason, I really like the lightness of the Fenwick coupled with a lighter reel. My 704Z has been with me for more than 30 years, and works as well as the day it was new, but unless I'm casting big stuff, or baitfishing in a heavy surf, I don't use it as much as the lighter reels. With the combos I replied to you about, I can cast poppers, sandeel imitations, etc., for hours, and never feel tired. When you're bent into a really nice big fish, there's nothing like lighter gear-that also has the power to let the fish know you're there.
Did you get a raise this year? Every other day you are looking at buying more gear, it must be nice!What can you guys tell me about them. I do know they do not make them anymore or at least Fenwick doesn't make them anymore after being bought by Pure Fishing. I am looking at a 10'0" rod and wanted to know what people thought about this rod for plugging.

Sold some plugs to buy the rod. No raise in two years. Married a nurse!:thumbsup:Did you get a raise this year? Every other day you are looking at buying more gear, it must be nice!

Thanks Sea Hermit. Can't wait to use her this year. I figured the sweet spot was @ 2 1/4 oz and planned to throw no more than 3 oz with it. I doubt I will be buying a new/used reel for this rod. I have to many as it is right now. I have a few Daiwa BG 30's as well and I find them to be very close to the Penn SS series reels. I am having them serviced now and will check out how they balance as well. Hoping the Penn 704Z is not to heavy since it is bailess and will be coming back to me serviced with a new Sealed Drag knob and the drag checked out. I really don't want to loses any lures due to a bailed reel snapping shut.:thumbsup:
