Found that rod online at FishUSA for $154.99 but their paypal has been jacked up so it never ordered or shipped.

Heading offshore on Sunday and want to get this setup done. A friend of mine suggested the Cousins CPX809-FS. 8' 30-50lb. A little more than I wanted to spend but theres a good warranty and they are local. ill let u know how it works out.

Still looking for something to take on the plane this winter, probably end up with a 3 piece surf rod for that.
