Those shorter, and usually super stiff, kencors are nice for yo-yo iron fishing. they can be good heavier baitsticks too. Your jig master would work on the kencor but you might like a bigger reel, penn 4/0 or even a used lever drag for slow trolling larger macks. Your cardiff set up should serve you well for bass and halis. Depending on how you like to fish I'd recomend a 25-30lb bait stick and an 8-9 foot jig stick. I'll second the sealines, decent reels at a good price and extreamly durable. Maybe a 30 on the bait stick and a 40 on the jig stick. If you can give your business and money to a local tackle shop or look for some thing used locally. Seeker and CalStar are both made right here in Cali and are always my first choice. If cash is tight you can hit the wallyworld or sports authority for sabers or ugly stick tigers or some thing like that. They're cheap but do work well enough. Some times Big 5 has couplons and crazy clearance sales on sabers. Mike
