DJD, I would seriously consider the tech-spec rods at dicks sporting goods. All I use is spinning tackle and this rod has well outperformed any other I've used with exception of a custom rod I had made for jigging. If your were goin to spend upward of 200 I can give you the name of the guy I used and have a custom rod built. The tech-spec is highly rated along side the shimanos and priced starting at 60. They also have micro guide rods as well. I couldn't even imagine the poundage I've hauled in with mine. IM me if you need any contact info.
