The bears den has had a great deal on sage reels 2200 series sealed drag and it says the size is an 8-9 wt reel for around 120$ with backing. I have an 8 wt tfo rod I use with this reel with intermediate sinking line I believe it’s a 250grajn. Full sinking I think might be over kill. I’ve used this setup for Black seabass just drop a clouser over the edge of the boat it’s at the bottom within 20 sec. I also use a 10/11 at Albright rod I paid 50$ for new with a white river large arbor 10wt reel that was under 100$ at the stupid big box store. I like the heavier setup because I can get my line out a good 50-70yds in just a few back casts. Line is where it gets expensive but matters the most. An intermediate sink saltwater line will cost you 100$ where a weaight forward floating should be about half of that. Hope this helps a little niko. I like the tfo rods for the price point and the warranty is fast and affordable no questions asked
