The Tica is a great rod for the money - I got one for Mrs Crafty for Mother's Day - now I gotta find a reel to match it up with. I'm pretty impressed with the job they did on it for short $ .

Might go with something like a Shimano for her or one of those new Quantum saltwater reels - guy I know has one, says they're dandy.

I'm keeping my Penns and Lami's for the Big Shpaccone (alright, Medium Sized Shpaccone)

- that would be me - til I see that she really is interested in the game.

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
