You have spinning and conventional rods (not to mention a surf stick) in there. Can't make a valid suggestion without knowing what you are going to be fishing for and how.

I got the seeker, It was worth. we can say half price. Thank you all for helping, specially @Deleted account

I didnt buy the custom, because I didnt see any sign of g-Loomis blank. and I didnt buy mojo because it was spinning :)

G Loomis blanks aren't normally available. The Seeker rod you posted is spinning, I'm sure an equivalent casting is available. We used to be sponsored by Seeker, still have a bunch of them, good sticks.

yes I got the casting and I am glad, I like it so far. I put the braid backing and I am going to put fluorocarbon shortly and it will be ready to go for Monday.

You have a great excuse to buy the small Avet or Seigler lever drag. 

They're a lot of fun - the entire mechanism is an A/R crank and a wide-ranging drag (zero to 35 lbs)

This is the SGN - you can also use the lever for a casting brake.  

Somewhere on this video, my friend Glenn will be casting topwaters on his LGN

yes, offshore kayak is manly sport
