Saltwater Edge

Just want to give props to Pete. I went down there to browse at some light setups with the expectation of window shopping St Croix's etc because of the price. Pete pointed me towards an inexpensive Shimano rod and suggested an inexpensive Shimano reel over the Stradic.

Put everything together and all I have to say is that it's awesome!

The rod is rated 3/8-1oz, is 7', and has a fast lightweight tip but enough backbone to deal properly with the only fish it's caught yet-a 24" stripper. Look out hardtails!

The Edge is a great shop and Pete's the best.

Does he ever take a day off?

although once primarily a fly shop, they are far from just that now. their inventory of tackle for surf and boat anglers is impressive. custom lures, bombers, pt jude's, foul weather gear, vs reels, saltiga's, and even crafty's pictures! full guide service. no too bad.

pete, near side, coming...2 wide. i luv summer...

Yeah, it's a great shop with an incredible selection - I was down there Thursday and I couldn't believe the inventory. If they don't have it, you don't need it.

They even had that life-sized cardboard cut-out of Iron Mike holding a Budweiser...

Say, wait a minute, I think it was Iron Mike
