I have no idea the prices on anything so I mean price is pretty flexable.. It would mean the world to him so I'll spend what I have to.

Wow - those are some big poles! Almost like them Euro carp fishing rigs. Boilies and all.
I do mix it up and fish cats on my lighter rigs - but I feel more confident with a 7-8ft medium rod, a larger spool reel - usually a spinning reel. A lot of times when catting - I'm not doing lots of big casts, but sure is nice to have a quality drag when a big one takes a run!
I like reels that have a clicker. You can spin down the resistance, let 'em take it and run, and you've got a strike indicator without attaching bells.
CGF - shoot me a pm if you're interested. I'd be glad to donate one of my standard bead, blade and hook rigs. Set 'em below a bobber, and get ready for action!
