7’2 worm and jig Shimano Convergence. Awesome pick up on the cork and casts a 3/16th jig head a mile.

  2. that thing you get just moments after you needed it.

St. Croix 6’6" Premier Medium Light matched with a 1000 frame reel is one of my favorite all round outfits.

I have several St C. However never lift a fish in the boat the tip will snap.

Star, shimano, or st. Croix…
Go to a tackle shop and testing them out. I LOVE my 7’ lite action mojo inshore, but others might not… It’s all personal.
Just bear in mind, you’re gonna be tossing it for hours, YOU want it to feel great in YOUR hand

Impossible question to awnser unless you know how much you are willing to spend. You can spend $1000 on one inshore combo or $30. If you want a really good combo and dont want to spend more than $150 per, than you cant go wrong w Shimano Sahara 2500FE on a Shimano Clarus Rod.

Get out There!

I have a Clarus and Battle reel combo in the classified section. Great shape 100$ for the combo. Shimano Clarus rod has transferable no questions asked warranty, too.

Big Bear 7ft in a 3/4 med action. May be a little more than 150 but worth it. Rob, from big bear, lives on JI and I can give you his number if you want.

I went and took a look around. The 20% off is on “almost everything”. On rods and reels, that means on “almost nothing”. But I was hoping…

Hmm, got 20% off a shimano reel AND a St. Croix rod this afternoon. The “checkout” even took another 20% of a sale item that was already 30% off.

The discount is applied at the final checkout; even after credit card info entered. I checked the math- got the 20% on all.
