Nothing wrong wih Okuma; especially for occasional fishing. Reels above 100.00 are for, well, the obsessed (us!). Okuma, Daiwa, Shimano all have reels in the 50-100 range that are quite capable. I have an Okuma that I like and hasnt failed me and an old school Penn that I love (704z). Like the others mentioned, a 12' stick is probably too much- go with a 9 - 10 - they are easier to cast and control. An 8 isnt out of the question either. I think comfort FAR outwieghes length, IMHO. Good Luck.
