Got this new rod and reel combo from amazon, still waiting for it to arrive, but can't wait to use it. It is called a South Bend Neutron spincast reel equipped with a 5' 2" rod. I got the spincast because I was playing with my sister's and it was AWESOME! The spincast reels are so easy to cast, so when i have surrounding trees, I don't need to move the rod as much to get it as far. But all in all I chose this one because it was cheap and didn't want to invest too much. Please, if you know anything, tell me what you think of the rod
