I have a Penn 430ss and need a rod. Any suggestions?
Also have the 440 series. Any suggestions on both reels?
Penn 430 is a good trout reel, pair with a 7ft light or ultra light 4-10 or 6-12
Penn 440 7ft med rod, light action
7 foot Calico Jack rod made by Hurricane (South Bend) in either med. or med.hvy. ($50-$60) Dick’s has these. Haddrells also has a good selection at all price ranges. They have some Shimano rods under 50 bucks that I like as well.
Thank you everyone!
so one person suggests light/ultra light, the other suggests med/med heavy? One a trout rod, one a red rod?
For me? I’d go with 7’ popping blanks(that is if you’re finessing lures and grubs around). One for 6-8# and one for 10-12#. You could use both for trout or puppy drum…with the heavier useful for slightly larger drum.

The medium/heavy are on sale for $38. Just grabbed one. Get em while there hot!!
All fishermen are liers except me and you and I’m not sure about you.
