this rod has some really big fish on it for me. paired to a battle 3 6000hs it is a great combo for short money.
this rod is very parabolic, holds onto the fish and wears them down without beating you up. my carnage 2 turns the fish a little easier maybe, but for a while i liked my prevail 2 more than my heavy surf 2 blockhole

Is it safe to use braid with the stainless steel guides ?

Yes, it certainly is safe to use braid with stainless steel guides. Most fishing lines are compatible just take care of the rod by rinsing to prevent corrosion over time.

This rod is lightweight, versatile for throwing lures and bait fishing, and will be very comfortable paired with a Avet SXJ to cast with.

Would the 11 ft med heavy rod be good paired with Penn 4000 reel?
1 Answer
You certainly can pair this with a 4000 size reel depending on what kind of fish you are targetting and the application you plan on using to target them. Typically a 5000 size reel is a good starting point for surf rods

from San Francisco, CA asked:
November 10, 2020
For better distance with a 6oz sinker plus chunk bait, would you recommend the 11’ or 12’ (spinning) rod?
1 Answer
I would recommend the 12' model if using that much weight plus bait, however, the Heavy action of this rod may compromise your casting distance slightly.
