If i were you, I would do an Okuma Swimbait rod in H or MH, and a 200 or 300 series Cardiff. Then you have a very multipurpose stick, and you should be able to get it for sub 200 total. That C3 5500 is fine too though...nothing wrong with that.
My best was crawling big dark plastic worms through and around the cypress trees, moving from shallow to deep across the creek channel that runs through there. Get a boat if you can.
How y'all feel about the replay? It seems like every close play tonight Fredo Gonzalez runs out on The field and then waits for the clubhouse to tell him to review or not. They have to put a time limit on these things.
Check LL Bean for their light saltwater spinning rods. Long handle, faster action and I think they're about $80. I've used mine for 1-5ish ounce baits as well as frogs on occasion. It will LAUNCH a hudd or Punker.
Depending on how big a slammer you're talking about, you'll be fine in that 2 oz and under range with 13-15 lb lines. The problem will come when you want to let that 795 stretch its legs a little with some bigger baits. Cast offs hurt quick with big expensive baits.
