haha now i really dont know what to buy, aftering reading what you all had to say and a little research lol it's pretty hard to come down to one rod for fishing every style because there basically isn't a rod or little rods that can do it.. im stuck now haha..  :-?

Ok well I have pretty much done the reaserch for you...I have been looking at quality rods for about 3 months and settled on the Avid, and for the reel, man I swear If i get the money I will buy one of them. Yeah you can get the revo, but its a $100 reel with a $30 rod  :-/, and IMO the rod should be the better component. So if you dont take that deal I will talk to him and see lol jk. But Ik for you're first purchase you want to buy something at a store (I just did the same...turned down a few good deals just to get it from a store). But ill tell you it's a good deal as long as the reel is working and the rod blank is fine, you will get one heck of a deal. If you dont feel comfortable just do the Mojo and Extreme, not best of the best, but I am sure you wil be happy with them.

i've only used it twice. it really is pretty much brand new. i'm not in any hurry to sell it - especially for that price but i'll help you out. it's not going anywhere - if you want to wait until after spring break that's fine.

im leaning towards you set up josh, but is your reel left hand retrieve by any chance?? other than that bro if you can wait until after spring break or so i will probably buy it unless i take another deal elsewhere, also how long is the handle from the reel to the end 1-5inches or more??

thanks everyone for all the help im really looking foward to purchasing a set-up now after spring break or maybe even before then, depends if i have the income or not, but thanks on all the advice and everything
