I use Lamiglas 1315 Kenai Specials they come in spinning or casting. They are 2pc 8'6" 12-25lb test Matched up with a Ambassadeur 6500 you cant go wrong with this combo for about $200. I use mine quite often from throwing buzz bombs at Bush Point to bank fishing the Kenai or pulling plugs for big slabs on the O.P. Good luck with whatever you end up buying.
