I'm trying to put together a surf combo for this year and after all of the feedback and research I've done, it looks like I'm going to go with the Shimano Spheros reel on a ?Tica? rod. My question is, how large a reel either capacity or model number, should I be looking at?

Also, this probably depends mainly on the rod, but if you're throwing plugs, which is what I want to do, does that require a different action or rod length than throwing eels?? How long a rod, 9, 10ft and what action? I usually like to fish bombers but would like to expand my horizons (needlefish, small tins, eels if possible?).

I've been pretty much just a boat fisherman up to this point, so this is all kind of new. Thanks for all of the help, I appreciate it.
