That's pretty funny Sling.. I spent a couple of days at Pete's last week picking out a rod to put my new Shimano Sheros on. I was aiming at a Premier series St. Croix but I did not want to wait for the one that felt right so I bought a Star rod which I really don't know much about but it felt pretty good and pete said they were pretty good.

I was really looking for a good reel choice that wasn't a shimano at a price that it won't bother me to much when I drop it in the marsh mud..

I'm trying braided for the first time but I sure don't know why. Mono is cheap enough to change as needed and yuh can't own a reel without a back-up spool anyway. Hard to beleive they want 40 bucks for spare spools!!!! what a sharp stick in the eye ..
