im getting into fishing for sturgeon. im looking at getting the Amundson rod, Im trying to decide on which reel to buy. what would you recommend. im on a budget of $600 for all the gear.
 
The penn squall 40 is smaller then the TLD 20.
For sturgeon you need minimum 20lb drag.
Most reels in that class will work well, it's just personal preference.

Shimano Technium 8' sturgeon, TLD 20 reel with 150lb power pro.
Is the common Fraser sturgeon setup.

well ipicked up my first sturgeon rod and reel today. i went with the Amundson Savvy sumo rod and the shimano TLD20 reel. i loaded it up with 400 yards of 150lb power pro
 
Good times, what general area are you fishing?
I will be on the Fraser in Sept-Nov looking forward to it, mainly below mission.
 
The next thing you need for that TLD 20 is some of the aftermarket handles on the market they make a real difference.
