<P dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> So i just bought a Shimano 6500 BaitRunner spooled with 20# PowerPro. For finance purposes i teamed it up with a Penn CaptivaCV2902MH 9' rod. I know the Penn rods are not as good as the big names like Loomis or Shimano. So my question is, if i did want to spend around $100-$200 on a surf rod, which one should i go with? I like a long handle, huge eyes, and the ability to chunk a 3oz lure as far as humanly possible. So a MH/Hwould be ideal.I have thought about having a custom rod made to suit my needs and preferences. I would love everyones 2cents and your personal preferences/advice. <P dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">Thanks!
