[QUOTE=Hanr3;2603913]Thanks Ill check them out.
Ill be getting at least two pole/reel set up this year.
Record snow has given me a little coin to spend on fishing gear.
Also looking at a new Humminbird 899 HD SI unit, and Lakemaster Auto Chart Pro

I checked them out. lots of option in the Okuma line. Any recommendations?

if you go to northwoods its the 26.99 either the 15 or 20 series.Cabelas has them with their name on them and that next series up is only 39 on sale there. I think you want a fairly stiff rod for cranking but pm wilbur and ask him. are you going to do any spider rigging with any of these poles?
