Are you new to the sport or getting back into it after some time off?

I started fishing last season (first time since I was a kid fishing snappers off the docks with my grandfather). I had bought a cheapie shakespeare alpha rig. The reel didn't make it through the season. It just exploded. I replaced that with an Okuma Avenger. It's ok. I cleaned and lubed it and it seems fine. I fished the surf at Hummarock, a river near that, the jetti in Little Compton, and rocks at Beavertail, and I even tried the ditch (was too late in season though). I guess I'm looking for a versitile rig that I can take a lot of different places at different times. I'd like to keep the alpha-okuma rig as a backup or for staking with live bait and use the new rig for plugging. My 100.00 limit will probably go out the window. I picked up a 710 today with some lures for 40.00. I'm considering a 704z (shopping price) as well and pole for 40- 50. Damn fishing bug....
