Casting Rod...

I am looking for casting rod for tuna. Any suggestions on a good one that doesn't break the bank?

Thanks in advance...

Skippy which one do you have?

I am going to pair it with a Saragossa 18K...

Might go the Terez route but its a little expensive...

I have a FNPS60-270 6' line wt 60-75 &FNPS60-325 6' Line wt 65-85

Either will work well for casting and jigging in my opinion, when the rods came out new i believe they were over $250 i got them on clearance over the winter because they are 2009 models.
