Thanks for the responses Anglerdave and Dave L. I saw the other thread in regard to beginner kits and the responses there as well. I figured that the SC kit may be the better way to go, than the SA kit, as it may not be something I have to upgrade so soon, however, after reading the other thread, I shall give serious consideration to the SA as well. I understand that St. Croix has a good name for a reason, I was just wondering about their FF starter kits as it seems like a pretty good deal if you don't outgrow it "too fast" (I guess I'd define that as 1/2 to almost 1 summer of use).
