I bought a 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.
I need to travel with you. Sounds like you've had some fun.

I'll check out Bass Pro.
