At the suggestion of various members and given the magazines will run a mile from criticising a piece of kit, here is your chance to tell us what you really think about a rod, reel, line, lure... keep it legal please!

Which Senator is it and what size: 3/0= 113h, 6/0?
What rating is on the rod - 12lb class, 20lb, 30lb etc?
By the sounds of it you will have no problem but it is best to get the models or post pictures.

The reel will do fine. If the reel matches the rod then the rod will be plenty strong if not a broom handle.
I use a 12/20lb with a Penn 535 or Calcutta 700 for blue shark fishing and it works out grand.
Might be a safer bet to have a 20/30 class rod. Yours could be that anyway.
