Help buying rod and reel surf combo....

That depends on your preference. The 9 foot Mojo is a plugging rod more then anything else IMO. Poppers, metal lips, spoons, bucktails, etc. If you intend to soak some bait with it getting the liverunner isn't a bad option, but overall the rod is more for plugging. At least in my view.

hey fish i just received the reel still waiting for rod...but the reel is a little on the heavy side. I hope it will feel more balanced/lighter when mounted to rod?
