If its your primary boat road i would suggest looking into a Calcutta 400 or 700, learning to cast it might be a pain for a while but once you get the hang of it there is no comparison.The 4500 is a good reel tho and I caught many fish on mine..it was spooled with 12lb if i was gonna be casting it and with 15lb and a shot of 30lb for the chunk/livies....I would suggest a med/hvy or hvy fast action rod no smaller than 7ft...good luck
