Default Re: Suggestions for a penn reel for a 9ft st croix mojo surf rod

Don't have a specific suggestion for you but if you are making long casts and plugging/reeling a lot, you want something as light as possible and a higher gear ratio to reduce fatigue. Since you are also fishing the surf, the real is more susceptible to getting wet so a sealed reel would be a plus.

At a moderate price point, that brings you to the Spinfisher or Clash both are sealed and both available with 6 to 1 gear ratio with the Clash being a bit lighter.

I would also suggest going and seeing them in person and mounting them on your rod to see which balances the best.
