Well I ended up spending a bit more the. I wanted to but ended up getting the curado 150 mgl with the matching curado 7' MH rod.

I'm torn between something a bit advanced like a curado 150 or just get a combo of the same price of the SLX combo.... unfortunately I can't find anyone that has it in stock.

Thx man appreciate that....and yeah I think I was looking at the SLX mgl too. I've been wanting a nice reel I can have for awhile and I never hear anything but good things about Shimano.

I like having my 2 piece behind my seat on the floorboard that's why I was asking initially. I just didn't wanna have a rod I have to maneuver in you know. But I'm willing to work something out. Just not sure what reel since everyone has been making the rod suggestions lol.

What about what reel I should get?

Lol it's a 2016 focus st so I don't think it's gonna happen.

Yeah mainly where I go it's all open....there all tall weeds and stuff bits it's along the shoreline stuff not like out in the water. So my budget I would like to keep the reel under 200 and unfortunately for my rod it needs to be a 2 piece cause I need it to fit in my car.

So this is my first post so hopefully it's not too bad lol. Anyways I've fish pretty much all my life...with whatever rell and rod my parents gave me which was fine but not always the best quality. Now that I'm older and have a decent paying job I wanted to get something that was really good quality. I don't have a boat so I always shore fish so I definitely want something that cats far and in the wind if I need to. I'm not really a live bait kinda guy...I always like using spinners, cranks, Texas rigs and a few others. Right now I have a kastking that was like 50 bucks like 4yrs ago..Can't remember the model. So what I have been looking at after doing some reading I have been looking at these.... Diawa 150 Shimano slx Shimano dc Curado k and mgl Abu revo sx and a few others.... I will also say that my rod probably doesn't match what I need for the reel so that's why I was looking at the SLX combo. Anyways thx for reading this guy's I appreciate all the help and sorry if that was a bit long.
