Bass pro shops had em for under 100. We've taken some big fish (AJ's north of 50) on the 12-20 model. Penn made some International models.

for travel, Tsunami makes a 3pc surf rod I've used to shark fish and such. Caught a 20+ Mutton and a ~75lb Lemon shark on it with no issues. From the beach/dock

I bought a 7ft 20lb Albright last year which did well with some Jacks to 15lbs or so, and lost a screamer (big cuda or maybe something else torpedo shaped) to popped braid.

But for light weight, easy to travel/pack and good value, go w/ the BPS 7ft 12lb spin models, and pack yellow bucktails if traveling south. everything eats small yellow bucktails.
