Looking at buying a new Hali reel, am wondering which reel people use or which they feel is best for price. Thinking about a Penn 330 gt. what about rods?

Shimao TLD 20-Penns are mostly made in China now and the new models don't hold up as well as they once did.
You can still find US-made Penns on EBay but they hold their value.
For a rod I would go for a Shimano Talora or even better a Technium. Super tough rods, with sensitive tips so you can leave them in the rod holder and the wave action does the jigging for you.
I thought they'd already lowered the boom on all that and all rods purchased after the end of July were good for one year warranty and no more.Apparently the current (or next year) models of the Technium will only have a one-year warranty and WILL NOT have a lifetime warranty.Check the tag on any Techniums you buy and ensure it says lifetime warranty....
I have 2 older 25's that I put larger handles on and I'm pleased. Mind after Penn 209's I couldn't help but be happy.
Ebay or Angler's Centerwhere did you find the larger handles ?
