i have been useing 2 $44 walmart specials for everything. they are the 6'6" uglystick medium action with the silver reels on them. they have worked fine for me in the past but as of recent i have been getting more knowledgeable about how i want pluggs to pop and the size of lures i want to use. i was thinkning about getting a 8 or 9 foot tsunami graphite and useing a okuma reel. this should run me somewhere around 150 - 180. this is a big investment for me and i wanted to get feedback on this. i will mostly be fishing from shore, but not exclusively. we have a small 14 foot inflateable that i run around new bedford and the islands with. but i like to fish the canal and i do alot of fishing from fairhaven and new bedford from shore. i really love to use pluggs, but am not going to shut out the idea of useing storm swimmers. any and all info is greatly appreicated.

thank
scott
