inshore setup for dads 60th - suggestions

Its my pops 60th and we are going to islamorada for a fishing trip.

Sisters and i want to get him a sick inshore setup that he can us while there but also when he comes back to beaufort.

looking for a 6’6 - 7’0 rod. reel with 2 spools (one for braid other for 10 lb.)

$400 budget.

whatcha think?

Shimano Stradic 3000 and a Loomis Greenwater rod. Should eat up enough and still cover sales tax.

I second the Greenwater reccomendation. My favorite inshore rod.


Pillage and plunder with a 9wt and a fist full of clousers.

Charleston angler carries Gloomis?

Yes.

Let me know how he likes it. I sure hope my kids are buying me that kind of stuff when I hit 60.

They called me and I told them you wanted a Zebco 33 :wink:

Well, since they are only 13 and 6, I guess that would be acceptable. In 18 years, you had better give them better advice :).
