Not to say the Okuma is bad - its a awesome rod too, to me its more comfortable when fighting fish.really just splitting hairs between the 2 for pros and cons.Īt the end of the day, get them, take the time to build good leaders using good hardware, hooks and weights (again, all here in sharkchum posts), change your mono often and have a blast! I can't cast it as well as the senator, but it has a pile of drag capacity.īetween the 2 rods, I personally like the Prevail better - it's stiffer and has more backbone than the Okuma to me, and I get better results casting. I usually swap the mono every couple trips, depending on activity.ġ2' Okuma Longitude w Avet SX 2 speed w 50lb braid and 30lb topshot - The Avet might be a bit of overkill, but I had one kicking around that I originally bought when I lived elsewhere for river trolling. I don't have a spinning rig, but my casting setups are:ġ2' Penn Prevail with a 4/0 Senator w 50lb braid backing and 30lb mono topshot - I magged the Senator and it is now a casting fiend, prior to that was nothing more than a birdnest maker.only reason for 50lb braid is that's what I had handy at the time, but the 30lb mono is on purpose. This is what works for me, and is based off of reading sharkchum and others posts here as well as conversations on the beach. I've only been surf fishing for a couple of years since we moved to Texas so take my opinions with a grain of salt.
