Which is the best size PENN Carnage II surf rod for a Penn Spinfisher 7500LL reel. Or another quality surf rod in the $200 range. Thanks for input.

Other folks may have more to add on this one. We stock some travel version surf rods, but not so much in the traditional two piece long rods. We of course have access to Daiwa, Okuma and Penn's surf rods. Have a bit more liking towards the Okuma and Daiwa given their control of their own rod factory in China. Locally, fishing from the surf is a very light line proposition, 4# test being typical for corbs and surf perch. So, our inventory reflects that in what we stock at the shops, not really suitable for the larger reels. We can certainly go over some of the options, like I mentioned, you might want to check what Okuma has recently produced on the surf side (same with their travel surf rods - nice pieces).
