Conventional Surf
After 12 years with my heavy 9'Lamiglass and clunky Penn, I'm gonna make the switch to conventional for the surf. I couldn't believe how light Salthearts' rods were at the party. I especially liked FWW new stick. Its time to upgrade the equipment.
What do you conventional guys suggest for rod/reel? I'll mainly be using it for eels and plugs/jigs 1-3oz. My price range for THIS purchase is around $300.
Also while I'm at it I'll probably switch over to braid with this outfit. Any suggestions as far as brands and #test would be appreciated.
I tend to resist change so I've stuck with my 1st custom spin/mono outfit. Its served me well with only minor repairs and I'll keep it as my Bluefishing rig. I can cast conventional pretty well from my early years freshwater fishing but for some reason I never made the switch in the surf.
