Hi Gerry,

Thank You for replying to my post, I will try to answer your questions.

- What reel are you pairing the rod to? The reason I ask is because if you're paring it with a older and heavier reel, you'd sort of be wasting your money pairing it with the new lighter weight composite rods. You also want the rod to balance with the reel...

ANS:- I am trying to pair with Penn Fierce II 5000 Reel.I am open to changing the reel too..

- What is your primary use for this set up? If it's jigging for tog the lighter it is weight wise the better and it should be matched with a light reel. Light is key with tog jigging since you'll often times be fishing with light jigs around 1 ounce or so and you won't get the feel you need with a heavier set up... The heavier set up will however work fine for jigging Fluke and Stripers where you're using heavier jigs.

ANS:-Primary Use would be for Striper and Fluke, Tog would be occasional but not as frequent as Striper and Fluke.

- What is your budget?

ANS:-My Budget would be below $200
