Default Re: Penn Peer 209M's for bunker spoon trolling?

Not familiar with this specific reel but i don't see why not. The most important part of a good bunker spoon outfit is the pole. It should be a min of 7 feet, 8 would be better and has to have a very soft tip to give the spoon the action you want.

If I were you, I would put a 100 yard top shop of braid on the reels backed by mono this way you don't have to spend a bunch of money filling them with braid if they don't work out.

At the end of the braid you want to tie a good quality snap swivel, to this you attach a beaded chain drail weight, then another snap swivel to an 8 foot 50 pound leader with snap swivel at end which you spoon attaches to. The reason for the snaps on either side of the drail is to make it easy to switch out for heavier or lighter drail weights. Briad does not have the sinking quality of wire so you will likely need the drail weights to get the spoons far enough down in the water column. The amount of weight needed will vary by current and depth.
