If they are newer.... you will be ok. Watch the rating on the rods and do not exceed it. With a Senator, at times you will find the drag locking up. ( sometimes... not on all of them). If it should lock up and exceed the rating of the rod, it can be an issue. But the Senator Rods are made for abuse, so dont over think this, just be aware of it. The reel is not going to produce too much drag if working properly. ( just be careful if you ever upgrade the reels)

All in all..... they will be just fine. The slow action is not going to hurt you. Best of luck with them and post some pics to to show us how we dont need million dollar tackle to land fish!
