Uptiders
Hi all, what in your opinion is the best uptider combination, I have
seen the Penn tidecutter and I am impressed, but I will be using this rod for downtiding and light wreck work....so maybe a lever drag reel would be better than the 535...opinions please....regards Lee

I would suggest you take a look at the ABU uptiders.
Both the Suveran and Conolon versions are good. I have a Conolon with a Penn 535 GS and well pleased with it. Southend Angling Centre have some great deals on at the moment.

I think more modern rods, mines an old one now, are specifically designed for use with braid, worth considering if you're buying new. If you particularly want a lever drag I'd recommend the Shimano Charter Special 2000 which is about the right size for this rod, not too sure how good this would be for casting for genuine uptiding, since I've not used it for this. Load the reel with backing and braid, around 20lb, and use a shock leader, around 30lb. You'll want twice the length of the rod plus 6 times around the reel. Good luck. -- Regards. Chris.
