I have to agree with the others here...for the $ those tica and Tsunami rods are a heck of a value...sort of like a poor mans st croix. You might want to step up your reel to a small shimano baitruner.. or one of their other models. A bit nicer to fish with IMO. Buy an extra spool and load it it 30# powerpro or stealth braid. The combo of the stiff tsunami 8 or 9 footer with the lighter smoother reel along with limpness and tiny dia of the braid...casts like a higher end custom rig with 8# test mono. (tape your index finger, braid tend to cut. )
