It sucks when you're on a budget.The Tica rod I bought is a great deal for the money and I've heard nothing but good things about them.
I don't want to skimp on the reel,but money IS tight.The Eclipz is almost $40 less than the Spheros,but at least with the Shimano you know you're getting a good reel.
BTW.Anybody ever heard of a Mitchell Riptide spinning reel?The owner of the house I'm working in was tossing away a bunch of stuff(hubby died couple of years ago) and she gave me a brand new in the box reel.Its a model 80 rated for 300yds/14lb test.Looked on the website and the only Riptide reels were conventional.
