As far as schoolies go I catch most of mine in the upper bay when i target them. I use a Shimano Sedona 4000 with a Ugly Stick Lite Intercoastal 7ft spooled with 12lb mono. The Rod is super sensitive and casts fairly well. The reel has all the features of its more expensive brothers like the stradic or sustain for a lot less money. I don't need to cast far when i am going for schoolies most are in less than 5 feet of water. I usually use shad bodies or grubs. But small poppers work good as well. This combo has landed fish from an 18lb striper to a 14lb blue. The reel costed about $50 and the rod was $45 as far as value goes it cant be beat. It fishes as well if not better than setups that costs hundreds more. If you have money to burn I suggest the new shimano stella paired with a Lamiglass XS-81MS 8ft.
