Question for you guys

[johnny ducketts]

I didn't know much about the great white reel until I stumbled on it, I was thinking it would be ok for a year or two, then maybe I can have a set up built for me.

I agree with JohnR..My 1st was an ugly stick..Served me well..Then I found out about custom rods...Good luck

It is a good set up, for starts I used an ugly stick for a couple of years, when I first started.

10'6" is fine for the surf .. Very wide range on those sticks because of that soft tip .. Good beater sticks .. My kids grew up using them ,,still got them . They were like $59.00.. good value.. They had 704's on them .. don't know about that reel you mention .. You'll know your first good run ..
