Any ideas what you want to troll for?

I would say something like a Shimano TLD25 with 30-40lbs mono and a 20-40lbs standup 5ft6 trolling rod should suffice for things like Albacore and similar.

Or if you want to spend less check out some of the Okuma reels and match to a non expensive boat rod.....Ta'Bormla in Mosta has a good choice.

Look for a bundle rod/reel deal in the US for the TLD25.....places like Cabelas, tackledirect, etc probably your best bet and will give you a versatile set up
