I use a 12' Ugly Stik in med/heavy paired up with a Penn 330GTI spooled with 50-60# mono. I have used this set up for years and can't say enough good about these reels. They do eventually wear out though but are not super expensive ($80-$90). Glad you got in to a good one, I don't think there is any fish that is more fun to catch! -J
