Got the same setup, but with a castaway pole. Very nice. The penn spinfisher SSg 420, and 430 are very good reels.

I'm gonna have to check out these okumas ..... Always been a Shimano guy but I'll give it a try

I have my Sonora on a 7'2" Blair Wiggins Inshore Slam Rod and I love the rod.

Okuma inspira 30 is a great reel. I use the 30lb power pro.

x2 on that sedona

i really like the shimano sedona for a value-priced reel. $60 for a well balanced reel with a good instant-anti reverse, good deal. add that reel to a clarus lifetime warrantry rod and you have a nice, light, sensitive and well-balanced combo for $130.. and it'll last for years. ;)

Corey, I have 2 ugly Stix........you'll see one in action in 2 weeks......put a good reel on it and your golden!

Got the Okuma Inspira 30 and Epixor 30. They get wet all the time when I wade and just a little spritz of fresh water and some lube and they good to go. Got one on a 7ft Castaway and another on a 7 ft. Berkley Lightnin' Rod. I got 10 lb Big Game on em and they work just fine for me. They are really great trout combos,too. Just gotta play the reds a little and let the rod and drag do the work. Fun, fun.....

i have two of the sedonas going on seven years. Time for an upgrade though, these are the old style sedonas. The newer ones are sweet!
