LOL..... I have an 8 ft x80h terramar with a Cardiff 400a reel and I can cast that thing a country mile, love that poll! I have problems sometimes with my avet mc sx though. For whatever reason east coasters prefer spinning reels and we seam to prefer conventional but I do t really know why. I've also got a quantum cabo 80 real with a Boca rod ( rod is way to short) but I love the real. Casting is always consistant and the drag is unstoppable, with over forty pounds on tap. I love my avet but im don't think that drag on conventionals are as good as spinners....... Super smooth. At any rate I just recently happened to be in the right spot at te rigt time and destroyed a nice yellow on a coffe grinder and a waxwing! Those lures are pricey but they swim awesome and the double hooks are also awesome. Both hooks set and held firm through cutting bull kelp.
Final thoughts.. Fishing is supposed to be fun. If your spending all your time using gear that doesn't work for you than you just dont have as much fun and you lack confidence on the water. Those are the two most important things out there.
Tackledirect had some good quantum cabo combo deals. I would suggest dropping down a couple sizes to what I have, many a sixty... Plenty enough for anything out there.
