You are welcome, Trollboy8.
One thing to consider, it seems you mention a desire to throw some really light weight lures. Have you considered a super light-weight reel like a Shimano Chronarch MG?
The Quantum PT is great, but it is a bit on the heavy side...9.5 ounces. The MG weighs in at 5.9, and the difference in the way it feels and the dynamics it has on a given rod is pretty remarkable.
I initially had said Quantum on a 3.7 ounce St. Croix rod. It worked, but it never balanced and it pretty much over-powered the rod. I picked up the MG in December and put the Quantum on the Airrus rod & the Shimano on the St. Croix, and it is unbelievable how light the whole setup is. So far it appears to be a great match for both of them.
Anyway, for throwing light lures, it may be fun and something to consider.
