Thanks all! I was at cabelas and checked out a whole bundle of rods. Checked out the okuma sst it was on sale but the only one they had I thought was a little too light. It was only rated for 10lb line?
Checked out the berkley air liked the feel but they didn't quite have what I wanted in that model.
The salesman was dead set on me getting some lamiglass rod. It was a 10' light rod, he tried telling me the extra length would help make up for the light rod and make it fish like a medium rod.
I ended up walking out with a shimano clarius (spelling?) Price was right and it fealt good. Still got the receipt if anyone thinks I can do better?
I didn't get a reel I have an older shimano TX4000 reel that I was hoping would work. Its rated to hold 160-180 yards of 12lb test. Use it or get a newer reel?
Still browsing for nets might have to bear hug a fish if I can't get a net haha.
