Hmmmm!
I gotta ask lol, says you registered 10 years ago and this is your first post?
So, anyway, if you’re looking for decent quality affordably, I would go with a used heaver in the marketplace and If you want new, you can try the Fiblink rods, super cheap, and nice for the price!
They make a 13’ Moon Sniper 8oz rod, 2 pc. 50/50 split!
The guides are basically like your average cheap guides, and only had one break so far on a cast, which I think I banged the guide anyway earlier!
I love my Ticas, which you mentioned, and could go with another one of them, pretty affordably!
Then you have Ugly Stik, BPS Ocean Master, Daiwa all have affordable options now and Penn has a lot of rods too, cannot go wrong any of the Battalion’s and even have the Squadron lll heavers now for under $100
I just saw they released their new Tidal Surf series overseas, but can be bought online around $200 and sent over here!
As for conv. reels, there’s all kinds of cheap reels now or you can do the same thing and go buy a good quality reel used affordably in the marketplace!
You have Penn Squall’s, 525’s, Daiwa SL30SH and Saltist 20-30, Abu 6500-7000, Akios 656-757, Omoto Chief 6000-7000 and Chief Extreme530/630, Mingyang, Piscfun etc. etc.
I’m sure some others will jump in with some more help and ideas, if not, I can name some more of models from those manufactures you just have to pick a set price point and options for level wind or no level wind and do you want some sort of mag braking?
EA
