Is Penn squall star 40 SQL40 good match with this rod

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.

I use this reel Okuma Classic Levelwind Trolling Reel i have used this set up for stripper amd flathead cat fish have caught a thirty pound flat head and was no problem reeling in

I think that rod is heavy duty. It wont bend too much if you're catching small fish . Iy wont snaps as easy on you. I got ywo of theses and prety satified

I have used that combo for striper fishing from a boat and they are a good balanced match for heavy duty fishing with parachute jigs and 40 pound test mono/braid.

I not too familiar with the reel you are talking about, but I bought two of these rods and have been very happy with there performance, I use one with a penny reel for surf casting and the other for bottom fishing off of a jetty.

I highly recommend you check the manual for your water heater before buying any rod. They have the same thread but are various lengths.

Rod, we can not say for sure. It looks like it may work. The item fits the Marineland 27/37/47 cube tanks and is 20 x 18. You may want to research this. Thank you for your inquiry.

the rod is marked "x-tra fast action.. I would say it is a med rod-- If i had to re purchase, i would go with the Battle 2000 combos as i fish in backwater of SW FL for reds, trout, ex.

Truthfully, the squall is a better reel, it out performs the senator. When it comes to line capacity, the senator has it beat. But let me save you some time, money, and headache...in actuality, I stopped using Penn as soon as they outsourced to China... the parts break down way too fast now and replacements are a waste of money just like the reel then becomes a waste. Trust me, I used to love Penn, but as soon as they did that, quality becomes non existent, even getting parts for old reels sucks because of the low quality. Avet and Shimano are the way, and take it from a very experienced and avid fishing captain.

I agree with Rodney, it should be fine on that rod. I also have it on a heavier rod.

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

No. I just bought this for my Skil 1830 and the diameter of the rods is too thick. Still looking for a compatible edge guide!

Yes as long as you have the proper adapter. Some units come equipped with a limitation of the number of rods you can add on. As I do not know what kind of unit you have, I can't give you anymore information. If you can send me a photo and the unit model perhaps I can help you. I also have a couple of spare rod adapters cheap if you need one. Thanks Juan

Yes. Its a good rod. It is a little heavy for continuous casting, but it has held up well.

I use the Cedros 40clf on mine. I have put a 50 on it too. The 40 manages good sized Redfish, Stripers up to 39" and small Mahi Mahi, Lesser Amberjacks, Bonito, Albacore and Yellow Tail. I use food braid and dampen that with flurocarbon leader. Drag is the issue and line test that will not over stress the rods test weight. I believe you will be happy with the combinations.

I did go with Cedros 40 and it fits perfectly. The smaller reel has so much drag power that you can easily handle big fish with braid.

Yes, Peter it will work fine. I really like my FRC4000..........I use it for surf fishing. Really smooth action.

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.

NO but it is a excellent heavy rod I realy like the rod iput a penn 4300 on it

Yes, I got this rod a month ago and for the price it is the best you can get. Sure if you get some higher end rod with a reel that glides it might be easier for the inexperienced, but for a $15 rod this is #1.

I used the Rheem Sp11526C rod (after cutting 12" off) on my 40 gal. Penfield WH and it's working fine. The rod threads are pretty standard and only the length, diameter, and material of the rod needs to be considered when buying. Use teflon tape on the rod's threads for a good seal, but leave some bare threads so the rod electrically connects to the tank. I would think this rod would work in a Rheem WH as well. Also, I agree with Dr. Evil's reply.
