Excellent suggestions. I appreciate one and all. I had thought if we have $500.00 to spend why not get a Cabela's Gift Certificate. We're not far from the Hamburg, PA store and the guy loves the place. But nooooooo. The big cheese holding the purse strings is being a pia about this, trying to organize the purchase of a retirement keepsake like a business transaction.
I decided to come as close as I could to what I had to spend and found the Shimano Sustain had an excellent writeup, and there's some high end Fenwick and St Croix rods in stock at a sportsmen's center not too far, that some other folks I talked to said would make a nice combo.
