CSK - I have a few I use depending on conditions:
XRA1205 with a Mag-Elite (yeh, I realize the 1204 would be better)
Batson 1088/PB 1089 with a Calcutta 400
I'm considering the All-Star 1266/2, the XRA1204 and I have several rods still to build
but I'm interesting in eeking out the best options here...
I would also rather stay conventional as I'm so comfortable with conventionals that spinning feels weird and I look like a wounded blind duck when casting a spinner...
