Mostly a Fin-Nor 16A or a 12A but If I need to launch plugs in the AM I'll bring a Shimano 700.

abu 7000i hopefully soon to be 7000i pro rocket
If I am doing the spinning thing 8000 spheros, I highly recomend this reel for anyone wanting a cheap reel that performs well in the surf and handles braid perfectly.

I bring this:



just kidding, Penn Slammer 560 with 30lb braid worked great for me on the beach this year, then I switched to mono when I started rock crawling.

Most of the time a Penn 704 for plugging and a Squidder 140 for bait fishing. I also have a VS300, but I only use it for trips out to "M" where my reel will get submerged often.

Little beach Quantum Boca 40 or Penn 550SS yes, that's right two generations old.

Big Beach Abu 6500/7000 or Penn 704
