I got Okuma CD-90 and Tica Dolphin SE10000 that I would recommend, both < $100.

Call Randy at Baitshack, he's the VA board sponsor. He has the best price around for all of P&Sers. Call him and tell him what you need and he can set it up for you.

I have the okuma Coronado cd 65 and love it. the 90 holds more line and it is about he same weight. For strickly surf rod I would get the cd90

thanks for the replys...want to spend under $100,looks like a diawa is the way to go...picked up a diawa regal 4500 for cheap during Chritmas,will this reel work on a 12' rod? if not which diawa would you combo with?Thanks:)

What is the line capasity on that reel,with say 17lb test?? I own several diawa spinners,but none are over 3500 series,and they hold about 250 or 300 of 8lb diameter,20lb test fireline.. If it has the capasity I'm thinking and you are using that 12fter for big game,it sounds more than able to do the job,imo...

the diawa emblem or emcast reels (ones 130$...ones 80$)....long cast spool design...excellent for big rods and distance
