Penn 70

[c parks]

Looking to purchase a Penn 70 for an xmas present for my brother. (A wise man once told me never buy a present for someone that you couldn't use yourself.)
Anyways where's the best place right now to buy a setup online? any local tackle shops you guys prefer?

Check out our website www.thehookupcapecod.com We have some awesome stand up combos with Penn 70's. I just shipped two out the door today. All are in stock ready to go. Capt. Eric

Do you like the 70 or should I go a little heavier with an 80?
Presently we have (2) 130's, (1) 50, (1) penn spin 950, and some smaller misc.

C park: What do you plan on doing with it? For stand-up clearly the 70VS is a better option than a 80.

Don't know what your intention for the reel is as far as use, but I would think adding a couple more 50's to that aresenal would be a lot more versatile.

What kind of fishing do you do mostly?

Hey, can I become an adopted brother that's an awesome gift.. Give Capt Eric a try down at the Hook-Up he won't steer you wrong.

Just my 2 cents

We fish for mostly tuna, some shark but our main target is bluefin- troll, bait or kite

the biggest fish we have caught on a 50 was a 75" on a harness standup- and the fight was 40 minutes (still a sport) I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have been as fun on one of the 130's

this will beat the left handed hockey stick I use to get him

I agree I would start with two more 50's .

Shimano Tiagra 50WLRSA loaded with 130lb JB hollow to 50 to 100 yard top shot of 100lb ande clear mono is my recommendation
