Just want to give props to Pete. I went down there to browse at some light setups with the expectation of window shopping St Croix's etc because of the price. Pete pointed me towards an inexpensive Shimano rod and suggested an inexpensive Shimano reel over the Stradic.

Put everything together and all I have to say is that it's awesome!

The rod is rated 3/8-1oz, is 7', and has a fast lightweight tip but enough backbone to deal properly with the only fish it's caught yet-a 24" stripper. Look out hardtails!
