Does this rod setup accommodate a PENN 114 without any modification? I have also heard complaints about the reel seat being too big for this rod

Have one with a 114 on it and it fits fine. Also have one with an Okuma Solterra 50W and it fits fine as well

The standard rod holders are pretty insufficient. I added a skotty fly rod holder. The storage bags that come with it are fantastic. I have a "K-Pump" that I got with a different boat that works great. Hope this helps....

Penn Website Will tell you which one you need although in my case with squall lever drag system reel, i would prefer 1 more size than the chart told me.

Tim, I own 6, Penn 9/0 Reels and I have them all covered with the Large sized Penn cover. They are a snug fit with ample room for adjustment. Your Penn 10/0 will need the XL. Being too loose or too big will allow moisture to stay trapped in and around vital moving parts.

May be a bit large for an ultralight rig. I did not have good luck with this reel. never got it to cast right. Continually back lashed. I cahnged the weight of line and made all the adjudtments I could. Took it apart and cleaned it, although it was new. Nothing worked. I would recommend a Diawa Laguna. I have four of them and they are great and would work perfect on an ultra light rig.

Yes it will*... *It will fit 2 Rods but only one of them can have the reel attached. You would need to take the other reel off and have it loose and then it will fit.

I didn't own mine long enough to give a qualified answer, but any sectional poles (I use an ultra-light one for spin-casting) aren't really going to be well geared for really large fish. I picked this up to throw in the back of the truck as a basic utility rod to use on whims rather than specific fishing trips. I accidentally broke the tip off pulling it out of the car. I only broke about an inch off and picked up a new tip at Cabela's and glued it on and it was no worse for wear. I emailed the company to see if they could send me an extra tip or two and said I was more than happy to pay for it as I'm infamous for bonehead moves like that. They sent me an apologetic letter saying that they don't have separate parts but would see what they could do. A few days later a whole rod kit (two piece instead of a take down) showed up in the mail! A few weeks later my dad stumbled on a more expensive orvis take-down with a smaller tube case, so I sent the Crystal River take-down to a friend of mine in Ukraine who said she had never tried fly casting before and the smaller rod was cheaper to ship than a 2 piece. (it still cost me over $50 to ship, but she enjoyed the gift)

If you are targeting heavier fish its a great rod. I fish mine with a senator 4/0 and it does great. It does not have much play in the tip, so for fish on the lower end it is a little stiff.

It will fit. You should go compare a penn 113 4/0 reel for size. The 4/0 is the correct size

The description reads 7', that means seven feet, same as 7 x 12 inches. If it is a factory combo it should come the the Penn Battle 7' rod. Great all around combo. Highly recommended!

The Penn 9 and 10 are too small for any of the Penn reel covers to fit. The XXS fits a Penn 320GTi.

I have it on a 5 wt fiberglass rod. It's actually a little light on for this heavy rod. It should be about perfect on a graphite rod.

I would NOT recommend this set up for that size fish! I had my hands full with fish under 5 pounds!See my review on this combo for information on the reel. The rod is great, but I would buy a stiffer one for 40 to 100 pounders. PS--where do you fish? I wanna go there! -Edog1955

If you are fishing for larger fish, I would go with the Penn 4000. If you want to fish for bass, catfish,crappie I would go with a smaller rig. Look for reels that use 15 pound test or less and a reel that would compliment the rod. Have fun. Jim

Line does not come on the reel spool when you receive it. Line is very easy to put on the spool and you should have no problem doing this. You can go on to the Penn web site and you will fined the information concerning extra reel spools for the Penn FRC6000. Thanks Bill

Mine is a 30A which is suitable for most anything you would be doing with up to a 1/8th inch rod. I've had no problem with my machine after burning pounds of rods-- 6011, 7024, 7018, and 6013.
