what are the specs on it
if you use windons, does it have windon guides?

Penn International Tuna Stick V2155ARA

Brand New In Penn Bag

5'6 Long (with detachable alloy butt).

30-80lb Class.

6 (Inc. tip) AFTCO Rollers.

Gold fittings.

EXTREMELY powerful, from Penn's flagship range of world class rods

it sounds like it should work
if they dont say windon guides, usually you are not getting them
but you may not need
penn usually have a softer action and fish mid to lower in the scale
it will probably work ok for you
as long as you are not going for Jaws
if you can get it for a good price
go for it

Thanks Paul will double check on the rollers, our porgies and blues are normally not so big, we also get the odd thresher thanks again.
