Looking for advice on a surf casting set up.

I don't know much about St Criox

I would save my money up and buy a Lamiglas GSB 1201 M
and a VS250 with 65 # Power Pro

I know you don't want to spend 1200 bucks on a set up,

The penn 750 ssm is a great reel and easy to maintain yourself.

I used to have a St Croix Premier surf. It was alrite, I like my avid better. Its 10ft rated 1/2-4oz. Good pencil rod also. For an all around rod you can't beat a GSB 1201M like tattoobob said. For a reel look at the Diawa Emblem($150) and Diawa Saltiga Surf ($400) if you don't want to spend $700+. Also the Shimano Spheros is a nice reel for under $150.

sounds like a good setup. i've got a bunch of st. croixs and they are great rods. nice and light so you can throw for hours. maybe swap the penn for a shimano - but that's a tossup. go to belsans in scituate he's got a nice selection to check out. good luck, paul
