I like the 8'6" okuma classic rods. Good action for leadcore. I do run 9' with a little more backbone on full core, but if I had to do it over I think I would probably just get all 8'6" rods. If you are fishing 20+ times a year I would run Convectors, but I know you said keep it cheep. That being said I like the comment about the 452classic okumas. I just don't like the magdas. I know people that have sucess with them, but I am not one. I've stripped gears on big fish. OK, so I could probably work the drag, but my experience is not good so i will stick with what works for me. THAT being said, everyone has something that works for them.
