I just got a XRA 1322 11' 1 pc Ron Arra series surf rod for my B-day. Then I bought a Thunnus 1200f Baitrunner reel tyo cover both lure and bait fishing. While I haven't casted it yet the Thunnus is a tank @ 31 ozw., that said I am beginning to second guess myself. Is this the wrong reel to put on this rod, is the bait runner feature necessary or should I just loosen my drag when baitfishing or live lining (something I have yet to do but would love to try live eels). Thoughts or reel suggestions would be appreciated. Henry
