Then a Rage rod and a Lew's Tournament pro reel is one of my favorite combos.

I haven't seen a bad one in a while. Just look and see if the guides are lined up.

And move somewhere that has Lew's reels ! ASP

You're doing it wrong, then. ;) Use more trunk and less arm and you'll find that you can paddle faster and longer with less fatigue.

GLX is an awesome rod, but more for someone who has a variety of rods and wants to upgrade. You are establishing a base, and that requires more moderately price combos!

If you're building an arsenal, add a deep cranking setup:

You want to try a Revo, pick up a Revo Winch
Pair it with a MH/Mod action rod: Lamiglas XCF 705, St Croix Avid Cranking

In that case, I'd stick with with the Avid and if you still want to try a Revo, go one more step to the STX. The added features are well worth the few extra $.
