if you want to buy the reel now but cant afford the custom rod or a good rod, just do what i did. go out to one of those crappy stores where the guys working there dont know what they are talking about, wallmart, mvp a.ka. decathalon sports, and pick up a cheapo heavy freshwater bass rod. i picked through about a million of these things till i found one that was right and still had to take it home and fix it up. it cost me 20 dollars but today its one of my favorites. its my soft plastic rod.
by the way get the c3 6500, i dont think you necessarily need the smoothies but ive been meaning to get them for myself for a while.
have you ever heard of Galyands? theres one on the north shore up here and they have some of the best service. might check them out if they're near you.
