I was at Jann's Netcraft last week and they had Okuma reels the Magda series were at $40 each look at rods hands on will be better that looking at pics. They have stock Bandits, Customs by Domka also. It's a short drive for ya for sure. A drive to Monroe will get you to Domka's Great outdoors also. He just opened a shop there, I have not been there but planning a drive soon.
