I am waiting until I start building my own rod before I do a really good conventional canal setup.

But from my research, here, with other websites and mostly from a member I fished with once (fishaddict).

I would go with the best 10 ft heavy action rod you can afford and match with a Abu Garcia Big Game 7000 HS - you can get the HSN if you like the feel of the narrow spool. that seems to be strictly a matter of preference.

As a beginner convetional caster and a beginner ditch fisherman - that is what I plan to build, buy next.l
