I built myself a Arra 1205 conventional on the suggestion of Saltheart and it I used it this season without any problems.
I matched it with a 6500CS Pro Rocket and 50lb Power Pro.
I have been advised that I should try the Spectron but that will cut down on line capacity. I had a 7000 but just didnt feel comfortable with the frame size. So until I get spooled I will use my 6500!
I am in the process of building a Patriot 1209 spinning that will be teamed up with a 7500 Nautil.
This way I will have both spinning and conventional for fishing the canal.
I was never a fan of jigging with a spinning rod when I fished freshwater. I hope I can adapt to it in the salt?

JP> Have you seen the new line of Ambassadeurs that are coming out? Maybe they would be more comfortable for ya?
