my local dicks sporting goods has these combos...orra combo is $129 and the code combo is $119. Both have 8BB and the rods are 7ft med-heavy. The code is high speed so I'm not sure what I'd use it for. I mostly use senkos, fat ikas, spinnerbaits, shallow crankbaits, occasionally swim baits.

If your set one getting one of those two combos get the orra SX. But I wouldnt get either one of them. I'd invest your money in something better. Check this forum for a used citica or a lews tournament pro, and pair it up with a berkley lightning rod, that would put you right in yout=r price range and you will have alot better set up. JMO

If you are set on one of these then the Orra SX combo would be my choice. I hate the brake dial location on the Quantum and have seen more than a few backlashes by several people b/c they hit it during a fight/cast.

If you can wait for one of the sales later this month. Find a reel and throw it on one of those Daiwa VIP Smallmouth rods that can be had for $60. Same construction as Zillion rods, same guides as a St. Croix Avid, full cork... pretty sick deal.

ive just had my mind set on an orra sx for a while i love abu reels but ive also been wanting to get a lews speed spool

Not sure on the rods but the orra sx reels are a nice little reel for the money. There built around the revo design. The main difference is in the drag I beleive. The orras have a single drag washer where as the revos have the multi washer system.

The lews speed spools are awesome!

I'd get the orra over the code.
