ripistick - I think captiva translates to "cheap shiny chit" - I may be wrong, but my buddy got a combo setup with a penn captiva and it was chincy didn't even last the trip.

a 12foot rod is going to get heavy, for NE waters, I'd suggest a 9ft rod and a Shimano 4500 live line reel.

good rod/reel combo threads have come up many times in the past, use the search function and you should find lots of info.

Good Luck
