I finally did it, went to Field and Stream yesterday and bought 2 Penn combos. I got the Penn Battle II combo, 4000 and 5000. Both came with a 7ft. medium/fast rod. I plan to load the 4000 with 10# mono and the 5000 with 12# mono.
Will either or both be okay to use in the surf near the shore at the breakers? Should I add a heavier mono or fluro leader for fishing in that area?
All suggestions welcome.
