"How to do Florida"

[MuskieBait]

The Penn 49's are discontinued, but you can still get Penn Jigmaster 500L, Penn Senator 3/0 or Penn 309. These are similar reels to the Penn 49. Michael has my Penn Jigmaster now.

With today's braid, you don't have to be as worried about capacity now. The only question is if there is enough drag on a smaller reel to stop a fish in time...before it heads back to the bridge piling or the bottom and break you off. The newer Jigmaster has 15lb of max drag.

Here's a little bit on the Penn 49 for you OT.

Is your reel a narrow tall spool or is it a wider lower spool?
