Personal preference, but I don't care for momoi, I'd take ande any day

i bought one of them(3 actually) penn fierce outfits from j&m's that everybody here recommended. it has served its purpose so far. 15 lb hi-vis stren.

Favorite: Phenix Black Diamond Hybrid with k-series guides and vs-150

Most Fun: cui noodle with 706

my favorite hands down would be my custom blue 706 that michael emerson painted for me, loaded w/ 15lb ande back country, on either my 9'8'' finwick, kinda heavy, but great all the same, or my 8'4' gator BS596 (both of wich have extensions), two wire frame guilds and 3-4 fujis

Y'all will laugh, probably, but I would rather catch a king on this than anything I have so far:

That's the 8 foot Wright McGill Blair Wiggins heavy action with an Okuma Avenger Baitfeeder 50 loaded with 350 yards or so of 12# Momoi Illusion. The 22 pound king I caught with it last year was almost more than I could handle....but most of what I caught on it was 10 to 15 pounds and it did fine. Slings cigs forever. Will probably snap like a toothpick some day, I know, but until then.....

706,Lamiglas MB114F extended to 10'3" and Diamond Illusion 16lb on top of 20lb dacron.

[size=12pt]When I use this, it means my grandson is with me, and it just don't get any better than that :banana:[/size]

I am happy with one of my penn 6500 and the shorter(7ft) custom rod from Rocks reef ,I got many years ago....but I have found I can cast a little farther with the 706 or 302....have turn and brought back to the pier on the east coast 8 foot sharks....putting the test to rod and reel....actually trying to see if it would break....and didn't....just got to love that set up..... for me
oh and 17lb stren that was very hard to break fish off with...was lifting kings out of the water trying ....but momoi now

.sorting through ..... what to bring
