Tica Dolphin 9' with the Spheros 6000 is a good travel setup...
Spend a little more and get a Loomis 1266S with a Saltiga 4500Z...
Don't want something that will stop boats but will toss lighter stuff then a Loomis 1023S with a Van Staal VSB150.
Don't want to drop alot of money for a rod and reel that is going to bounce around for a season in the car... check out the Spheros reels and Tica Dolphin rods....
It's your money and do what you want but take a look at the
site sponsors.
