Ok I just received my custom bottom fishing rod from Carolina Custom rods. I will say it is a great looking rod. The rod is 20-40lb 7ft heavy fast action. Now I’m looking for a reel for it. I have a vintage Penn 704Z with carbontex drag washers, and 60 or 65lb PowerPro braid. The 704 only has 15lbs of drag before the Carbontex washers not sure what it is now. I was thinking of using it or using a Penn Slammer III 6500 which is 50lbs of drag. I’m looking to be fishing in 250ft or under for snapper, bass, and small grouper. Any thoughts?
