I'm about to get a Daiwa Saltist Black reel for Christmas from my wife and am wondering what rod to pair it with. I will be using braid in the 80-100lb range and want a rod that won't have the eyes cut through by the braid. From everything I've read most rods are 7-8 ft long with medium action. What type eyes should I go with? Any brand name suggestions? All help is much appreciated!

Thanks,

Bob

Have any of yall heard anything about the new Okuma Cedros jigging rod? I just read about it in the Sport Fishing Annual Buyers Guide Edition. Looks interesting enough. I might consider giving it a shot. For you fellas who suggested the Shimano rods, have you had any problems with the braid making contact with the foregrip of the rod and cutting it? That was a common complaint I read about those rods.

Steve carries a brand at Lost Key...slightly more affordable than the Trevala line. I think it's by Challenger, but I'm not positive. I've got one but it's at home and I ain't.

 I have heard of that with the light and med light but that is it.
