Thanks Guys, the closed face is out of the question based on the feedback. They are both used to spinning reels, just not casting (yet).

I try not to go anywhere with big fish with them yet, schoolies and snappers are enough fun for them at this point.

Thanks again, now the quest begins.

I see you're in Fairhaven. You should take about a 20 minute drive east on Rte 6 and stop in at M&Ds in Wareham. Mike covers all price points, and he's a straight shooter. He definitely won't try to sell you more than you need.

He also stands behind what he sells.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

I recently bought the light Tica 7' (there are two at that size) and Spheros 4000 for the GF, and it's a really nice and light setup. She's tiny, so I was concerned about the weight of even my 8' rigs, but this one is super light. I spooled the reel with 10#, but I'll switch that to 20# sufix once she gets a little salty.

It should be a perfect setup for finess fish, small storms, a-salts, small poppers, etc.

I'll weigh the combo and post that when I get home. - 19oz (rod/reel/line)

The boys were born across the street from M&D. I visited Mike while my wife was in labor. I had to go somewhere to kill 13+ hours.
