If you go Calcutta, you might want to go with the 400 instead of the 250.

A 7 or 7-1/2 foot bassin' rod--maybe one rated for 1-1/2 or 2 oz at the top end--would work fine for inshore fishing. I'm not a freshwater expert, but I think some of those rods they market for Carolina rigged worms would work. I used to use an old Shakespeare "flippin'" stick that could handle about 2 oz. It cost me about $50. You could also look into some "inshore" saltwater sticks in the 7 to 7-1/2' range. You'd want a 9' plugging rod for the open beach, but a shorter baitcasting rod can be just the thing for bays, backsides of inlets, tidal creeks, harbors, etc..

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
