I am getting more heavily into the inshore fishing and am about to purchase another combo or 2 and was curious what some of yalls setups are. I’m thinking a 2500 size reel with about 20lb braid and a 7ft medium or medium light rod. I already have some I use for bottom fishing and I am wanting some to throw artificials and popping corks and the such. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thats the perfect setup, I would go with the medium rod though.
Depends on your budget.
Penn Battle II 2000-3000 combo seem to hold up well and a good bang for your buck $120.
If you got cash to burn and want something lighter:
Stradic with Gloomis $400-800.
Stradic with St Croix $300-$500
