New casting reel
Hey Gang,
Spring is just around the corner and I am ready for some fun in the suds.
I have been a fly fishing addict for 18 years. This past year I won an auction on SB for a spinning rod and custom plugs. Now I am addicted to casting and working custom wood as well as other artificial baits. I have a Van Stahl 200 and a custom SaltHeart rod and love the combo.
I am now looking into a casting reel/rod setup. This year I will fish 60% boat and 40% surf. I need a casting reel for live bait/large artificial lures that will be at home in the surf as well as the boat.
I need suggestions for rod/reel combo that will work in the surf/boat. I am open to 2 rods and one reel if possible. Saltheart will be building the rod(s) and I need a reel to match.
Saltheart, please provide specs for the rod(s) (2-piece). And members/experts please give me your input on the reel.
I am comfortable spending under $500 for the casting reel.
Happy Holidays
Bruce
