I wanted to get another rod/ reel for surf fishing in New Jersey this October. Then i got it in my head that i wanted to try using vintage gear, so i purchased a Penn 704z for a decint price. I have been looking for a rod that would work with this reel. Well today i picked up an 8' Roddy Roddymatic 902n rod at a local flee market for $15. Rod is in really good shape. Rod seems to have medium to slow action.
So the first question is will this setup work?
If so, what line can i put on it... 20#, 30# mono, fireline? Is a braided line gonna work?
