Im looking a sensitive rod but at the same time be able to handle the lead. something in the 7ft range and would be used predominately on Party Boats. i have a rod that i use up to 5 ounces. but can not really handle more than that.

For inshore fishing, Snook & Reds would you purchase the Shimano Stradic FI or the Penn Slammer? The Stradic's and the Slammer's are BOTH good reels and truthfully you wouldn't go wrong with either of them. However, the Stadic is a much lighter reel. The Penn Slammer tends to be pretty heavy in your hands. We also think the Stradic is a bit smoother reel too and let's face it... Shimano drag's are some of the smoothest drag systems on the market! We have many customers, myself included, that fish for Striped Bass in the bays and many of the techniques are similar to those you guys use down there for Snook and Reds. Personally I would rather use the Stradic over the Slammer... It's lighter, smoother and a nicer drag. Good luck and tight lines! Causeway I’m looking for two new spinning reels.
