The package I'm looking at is with an Okumo Integrity reel. I dont want a piece of garbage, but I'm a weekend warrior and realistically won't be catching lunkers on this setup. I know I want an Intermediate line, and will get a spare spool now so I can add a sinking line later on. http://www.burfish.com/Merchant2/mer...ory_Code=_C9WT

Final question, assuming I ever find a decent reel, is what lines should I stick to. Rod will be about $160, and if possible, I'd love to stick under $200 for a reel and line, and a cheap spare spool.

Try an intermediate weight forward (WF) line, should cover lots of situations, easy to cast, pick up, etc. Just my HO...
