The 13 foot Penn Prevail is an awesome rod and well priced. Perfect for older fishers or newcomers. It is an easy caster. The 14 foot has a short (Aussie style) butt which wont suit some, (unless you have short arms or are fishing within 80m of shore).The 13 foot has a light tip but will still cast over 100m with ease. The butt length is standard.
Hangler this is an open forum dont be scared to say what you think on here, there are plenty of differing opinions as you well know.
