Quick take
A 6.5-foot saltwater combo pairing a graphite rod with a Special Senator conventional reel rated for hard-pulling offshore fish.
This Penn Senator combo pairs a one-piece, 6.5 foot medium-heavy rod with a 113-size conventional reel built around a design that dates to 1936. The reel uses a carbon fiber multi-disc drag, a machined aluminum spool and a bronze main gear. It suits saltwater anglers working trolling or surf-style setups with 20 to 50 pound line.
