Put a pressp20x reel on a B N M 5' dock shooter, hard to put the darn thing down. Pflueger president reels paired with B N M rods are a fantastic combo.

Another combo that you don't here a lot about is the Pflueger rod/reel combo, namely their 4'8" rod paired with a pressp20x reel. Extremely accurate casting, impressive distance casting with light jigs and has no problem handling up to +/- 25" catfish. They can be had for $70 shipped to your door from dick's sporting goods. Typical $$$ for pressp20x reels are +/- $50, they're adding a cork handled graphite rod for another $20.
