I'm looking to spend up to $150 on the rod. What's the capacity of the 40?

You can load the sealine 40 with about 400 yards of 65pds spectra and add a 3 feet fluorcarbon topshot, way more than you ever need.

The Sealine X 40 HA is the way to go. $119

280 yards of 30 mono, 17.5 lbs of drag, on the 4.9:1 ratio.

Bulletproof - casts great - and has a carbon fiber drag upgrade available for $14

I'm guessing they hold up to salt water pretty well too, right?

they rarely require maintenance, a sealed drag really helps.

that and they just never break.

the only ones i've seen that didn't work were filled with sand.
cleaned them out and they worked great.
