Well, I went to Bass Pro Shops yesterday and I've developed a bad case of GAS(gear acquisition syndrome) for a new surf set up.

I mostly fish around the Weymouth area, so I don't need a 13 foot mega launcher, but I do travel occasionally and would like to get something of an all purpose set up.

I'm thinking about going with a St. Croix(I've always like these rods for some reason) 10' MH surf rod with a Penn 750 SSm.

I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on this set up.

I'd love to get a Daiwa Saltiga but I don't think the Queen would be happy with me buying a $700 reel.
