Penn 560 Liveliner. Need a rod!

Post by 5ubzero » Tue Dec 11, 2012 5:42 pm

I Just bought a penn 560 liveliner for 79 dollers. I need a rod for it, any ideas???? i can spend about 100-150max. Ill be using this rod only for piers, odd rocks and lakes for carp fishing. In the salt il be aiming for snapper and flatheads:). Any ideas????

also is a 20lb braid line, with a 30lb fluro leader good?


Forgot to mention, i need a 2 piece rod:).

Try either of these...

Shimano Catana Shore 902 2.7m 6-8kg bout $100
Silstar Crystal Powertip PC802GPM 2.6m 6-8kg about $80

Both 2pc, I have other models of both rods and love em. Shop around though.

Your braid and leader should be fine.

Cheers,

Cam.

Oh, yeah 20lb braid with 30lb leader should do well in most general situations.

Shimano Starlo Classix 902 Shorespin 5-10kg Retail for $119, I can get you one for $99

This rod will cover all bases. You can also cast lures for salmon, and detect whiting bites...great all-rounder IMO.
