It will definately handle Redfish as I have already caught some ... have the 7 foot med. and just received a 7 foot 6 med. heavy. I have swapped over some of my more expensive reels to these rods because I like them so much.You will be happy with either one.

The reel seat clearance is the draw back to these rods, check with the reel you intend to use before buying.

answer 2
The rod will handle that reel but it will be alittle heavy. I was using a pflueger presidente with my rod, 7.6 mh, for stripers off a boat down near the gas docks (calvert cliffs) on the Chesapeake. If you're gonna be casting alot try to keep with a smaller reel to lesson the strain it puts on your arms. You can just load the reels up with braid if you are worried about lb test/yds

The Penn Battle 6000 would work well with the 7'6" MH rod.

no, you would need a bridge net.
I have used this rod and it is not a lifting rod especially for 30in stripers.

answer 1
the action is relatively stiff and can handle bigger baits and live bait easily. the tip is soft and you will be able to feel the softest of bites. rod is light but can handle big fish.

The medium light is the lightest of this model but serves perfectly for flounder, redfish, blus and spanish.
The medium action works well on larger drum and has landed 15-20 pound sharks for us.

Question

is this rod for me???

Looking to purchase a rod to match up with a penn battle 5000. i will be doing mostly surf fishing and other places along shore, could end up goin into open water with it. thinking of spooling 20lb braid and a 30lb mono leader..also do you suggest backing before the braid?
