I'd say it'll work. 1st stop when you get to town should be J&M Tackle in Orange Beach. Their staff will help you figure out what you need rigging and bait wise. Keep your eye on the reports board last couple of weeks before you come so you have some idea of what's biting.
never seen the rod, but i have the 650 penn, great reel, very smooth, the rod sounds like a 9' medium action, if so then id say it should work
Thanks for the info guys! I appreciate it.
Can I use mono or would you suggest braided line with my setup? What pound would you recommend?
:banana:
Couldn't find the popcorn button so I settled for the dancing bananna.
mono will make you safer, and less hazardous.
[size=12pt] I use mono only, 12# or 15# Big game.
