I agree with everything you said except the reel. the fact is that the penn 4/0 or the like is totally outdated a dinosaur if you will. there are so many reels out there that have better drags,better gear ratio and are way lighter and in turn fishermen friendly. why not rec. reels like canyon,avets, shimanos and diawa among others all of which are half the weight of the 4/0 type reels. but still can do the job.

The penn 4/0 is an example. I like them because they work well, are not expensive and last for years. They make easy work of a cod double header as well.
The 4/0 weighs 28 or 30 oz depending on which one you have.
There are many reels that will work. This is a suggestion. Use what works for you and what you feel comfortable with.
Thanks for your input.
