I am thinking of purchasing the, Wally Marshall Signature Series Spinning Reel WSP-100, tag teamed with the Wally Marshall IM8 Graphite pole ...

Do you think this pole would be good for long lining / slow trolling or just jigging?

I am also thinking of purchasing the Sam Heaton Signature Series.

My thing is, I don't want to spend $80 for a pole! I feel I am just buying the NAME and other poles out there could be cheaper and do the same thing.

Your thoughts?
