I'm pairing a Penn International 965 with a 12' Penn Battalion. That said, the latest thinking is "spend 2/3 of your budget on the rod" The reason is todays reels will, if taken care of, give good life and have better drag systems than they did a few decades ago. The rod is doing most of the work when both casting and fighting the fish. If I follow that line of thinking I should upgrade a bunch of rods LOL. I have a lot of $150. reels on $75-$100 rods that I use in the sound where I live.
