Yes
Will always be some unstoppables but if you have any fishing skill that should land the majority of fish if they don't get sharked

casting you should be fine ...ballooning a bigger reel would be better suited. doubt you will be fishing the stella locked with a 9ft rod.
Edit: being spooled is OK though ...you havn't fished it to the limit if you've never been spooled :)

I just edumacated myself and pe4 isnt 40lb like I thought! oops.
Hope you get a few up there. I reckon youll be right spinning with that. 100m cast, 100m run on heavy drag.

Yep 13kg of drag is the same as I run at strike on my tiagra 80's while trolling with 37kg.....
