Re: rod and reel question
Which Senator is it and what size: 3/0= 113h, 6/0?
What rating is on the rod - 12lb class, 20lb, 30lb etc?
By the sounds of it you will have no problem but it is best to get the models or post pictures.

Re: rod and reel question
The reel will do fine. If the reel matches the rod then the rod will be plenty strong if not a broom handle.
I use a 12/20lb with a Penn 535 or Calcutta 700 for blue shark fishing and it works out grand.
Might be a safer bet to have a 20/30 class rod. Yours could be that anyway.
