Penn Prevail Surf Rod 12-20kg & 8-12kg what FISHING REEL will suit these rods

[one2three]

Hi Guys,

Looking for guidance for what reels would suit these Penn Prevail fishing rods.

The fishing rods and fishing reels will be used for Surf and Rock use.

8-12kg rod.


12-20kg rod.


What do you guys suggest.

DougieK on this forum suggested a while ago I should look at the Fin-Nor Lethal 100 which I would like to get. Which rod is this reel best suited to for balance and weight.

Many thanks in advanced.

Those fin loor 100 r pretty big looking

Was the balance with Penn Slammer 560 right?

What the best way to get the balance and good quality reel on these rods.

Thanks for the reply.

The rids will be used in the Surf and off the rocks.

Targeting Snapper, Salmon, Flatty, KGW, Mulloway and King Fish if it ever happens

Then anything else that will be happy to take the bait :tongue:

I got an Aerlex on the 8-12kg, feels pretty good. If i had my time again id grab a BG

Can you still get Alveys?...kicking myself for not buying one of these, they sound bullet proof (my surf rods get thrashed with sand and water)

The Saragosa 10k is by far the best not stupidly budgeted choice.

Please dont' send me another 100 pms about this.
