I'm looking to move up from the $55 Penn combos that I've used for striper the last two years. What's a good mid range combo ($200 or less) for drifting eels and jigging (6-12 oz). Thanks.

320GTI?

I may go with the 320GTI. That would give me about 250 yds of 30. What rod would match up well with this reel? Thanks.

I fish out of my own boat in Montauk. I usually use 8 oz jigs and 8-12 oz with a live eel. I've been using 20lb mono, but I plan on spooling with 30lb mono this year. I like graphite, but I really beat up my rods so I should probably stick with fiberglass.

Lami makes great rods, but that's out of my range. With a Penn GTI at $80, my range would be 80-120. Thanks.

Thanks...

for all the advice. I need to hit the tackle shop and hold and flex a few this weekend.
