plenty of guys here on the north-coast of ireland use them, i have had a
few casts with one of these models, will certainly be good enough for
youre job, and most other sea-spinning applications, well priced,
excellent rod. regards the reel good quaility brand the penns, not
sure of this model, but as you say bought in the states, should work
a treat, just one more suggestion you could team this out-fit with
braid, a whole host of brands to choose from.
