		 Bass pro shops had em for under 100.  We've taken some big fish (AJ's north of 50) on the 12-20 model.  Penn made some International models. 
 
for travel, Tsunami makes a 3pc surf rod I've used to shark fish and such.  Caught a 20+ Mutton and a ~75lb Lemon shark on it with no issues.  From the beach/dock 
 
I bought a 7ft 20lb Albright last year which did well with some Jacks to 15lbs or so, and lost a screamer (big cuda or maybe something else torpedo shaped) to popped braid. 
 
But for light weight, easy to travel/pack and good value, go w/ the BPS 7ft 12lb spin models, and pack yellow bucktails if traveling south.  everything eats small yellow bucktails.
