IVE BEEN A SPINNER FISHERMAN ALL MY LIFE AND ALWAYS A PENN CUSTOMER. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A SHIMANO CALCUTTA 400 SERIES CONV. AND A ST.CROIX BEN DOERR SURF ROD(8'6"). I FISH THE SURF AND I WANTED TO KNOW THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES WITHIN BOTH . I HAVE ADJUSTED TO THE CALCUTTA WITH THE LURES BUT STILL WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS A GOOD SYSTEM TO TACKLE THOSE COWS AND BLUES.
(P.S-I ALMOST BOUGHT A G.LOOMIS ROD-DID I MAKE A GOOD CHOICE WITH THE ST. CROIX?)
