Joe---what are you going to use that club for at Montauk? Just out of curiosity? I can't think of a single thing I'd use that 1209 for there, unless I was going to sling bait on a 6 oz sinker. Throwing darters on a conventional---no way;-)

The rod is a small heaver for bait, and it's a Ditch jigging rod---that's about all it's good for. The 1208 which you already have is a much more versatile rod and has all the guts you need for Montauk.

Your VS 200 with braid is also all the reel you'd ever need for that rod, if you decide to go spinning. It's a very light blank for all the strength it has, and the 300 will just throw it out of balance. I would think if you want a bigger reel for it, the 250 will be the logical step up. That's the model equivalent in size to the 706, not the 300.
