Thanks for all if your input and experience guys. On the reel, I'm currently using a shimano Calcutta 250 and its great for halibut. The only reason for the switch was because I wanted to double this setup as a rockfish setup and the line capacity on the Calcutta sucks.I've never been fatigued from holding my rod all day but you guys have given me some things to consider. I have a medium fast action Fenwick but its only 6"6'. My other Fenwick is 7"6' but fast action and the one I'm currently using that is a bit stiff for my . Maybe I'll try the shorter rod for now till I can put some more cash together. The terimar sounds like its got a good following and I love shimano.
