Penn slammer 760, i have one
Penn slammer 760, i have one on an ugly stick gold 10ft, and its not too heavt. The reel is relatively heavy as its all metal, but it should be perfect with the 12ft. i have 300 of 25lb mono on mine for beach fishing. Braid would be better though. But would definetly get a penn salmmer over a spinfisher.
Fishing and catching are two different things. But i want to learn how to catch.

I'll be using mono,plus it
I'll be using mono,plus it will be sitting in a rod holder most of the time.So weight won't be a issue for me.
But i would like to know what's the maximum lead weight this rod can throw
By some chance is this rod very much the same as a mt8144

i have no idea how mcuh lead
i have no idea how mcuh lead it can throw, but my 12ft ugly stick balance can throw 3-4 ounce with ease. I dont know where you will be fishing but ive used my 12ft in storms off pemberton, and ive been able to throw enough lead to keep my bait on the bottom. So i dont think the amount of lead it can cast will be a problem.

I catch 50cm tailor off the jetty on my 4-1/2 ft Ugly Gold 1-3 kg. They can take a flogging those rods.
