They make rods with rollers instead of the normal eyes, that's what you'll need for wire line. I'd skip the wire line and go with heavy test braided line. I ditched my wire line this year because the braided works better (goes to the bottom better in deeper water) , is cheaper, and easier to deal with than wire line. Just my 2cents! My Penn 320s have worked just fine for wire/braided/mono for catching stripers.
