Suitable Eeling Stick?

[fishsmith]

Good Thread.

Here's what I picked up for $65 yesterday, it looked ok, but l don't know a whole lot about these rods ( my last surf rod was a 9ft combo special w/ a Penn 704Z ) back in 1990.

Here it is:
Marado Tempest
TES102M 10'0' Medium Lure Weight 1 - 4oz Line Weight 15 - 40lb

Will an Ambassador 6500CS reel work with rod, I fished with the ol 704Z last night and I want to use a different reel, i've also got a penn 4400SS that I might use.

I got a couple hits fishing eels in front of Trailer Park in Brant rock last night, but no fish (bad drag on the 704z, thats my excuse, it cant be me), so the fishing wasn't great, but there was no mung in the water,so thats good news for the tourney this weekend.
