Well angelena, this is a curly one. As everyone will have a different opinion. ???
First, what size are you after, ie:- what size fish ?
Prices range from $400 ( rod & Reel ) to $ 4,000 and ever upwards.
If you are by chance chasing, small blacks, Wahoo, Spaniards, Dolphin Fish etc, I'd be havin a close look at Shimano TLD series reels.
I have a TLD 15, and it's taken everything from 1kg Squires to 8ft Reef sharks, I also use Braid on the bugga.
The rod is simply a Penn Powerstick 15kg.
I think we need more info to help you here ???
