thanks..i do like the shield reels..but it doesn't look like cabelas or basspro carries the reels

Spheros 5000. Just try not to dunk it. Unless splurging for a van staal, don't dunk any reels lol.

There's a ton of rods available in the $200 range too.

You can get away with a 8'6 to 9 ft rod in the back but a 10'+ would be ideal Oceanside.
