I do have a couple of the Daiwa BeefStick rods that I got while I was up in Portland ME a couple of summers ago, $25 each, good deal, heavy poolcues of a rod but will work well I'm sure.
Should I have these reels spooled up putting either mono or dacron on first and even let the shop do it for me? Going this way would be much cheaper than buying new reels for this fall, and for my newbie fishermen for cod such as my dad, a spinning reel would be so much easier than using a conv. And the retrieve would help getting the rig back up to the boat for sure.
