boat casting spinning rod/reel

[Parapapam]

Here are the "Standard" choices:

Penn SS from the 4500 to the 7500
Penn slammer series
Shimano Sahara or Stradic (I love my Stradic. My 8000 is a bit
of overkill though. Go with the 4000)

Go with a 7 foot or smaller rod. Waving a 8 foot rod around a T-Top is a bit of a pain.

If you give us more info, we can be more specific. Give us a budget range...
