thanks guys

tommorow I'm going to Bass Pro i'm gonna get a feel for a few rods/ reels
I'm kinda bummed bass pro doesnt carry lamiglas rods, i really want to see what they feel like. The only reason i'm hesitant of the shimano rods, is because they are not a specialized rod maker like st croix or lamiglas or g. loomis.

I'll let you know what i'm feeling when I get back from BPS tomorrow
