abu 6500tcst and a rainshadow 1088, can go light, but can turn a big girl too. Right in your price range and can be used year round. It can chuck a 4" storm shad nicely, as well as a cocahoe with a 1/2-3/4 oz jig head, no need for a casing egg as previously stated. It will get a schoolie in very quick for a good release and has the backbone to keep them out of the rocks. When the big girls arrive you can whip a 25-30 pound fish without a problem, very versatile. Cape Cod tackle "check the sponsors page" sells the reels for 94.00 and the rod will run around 170.00 or so. I wonder what wall your going to be on?

Everything is better on the rocks.

Steve is 3/4 and 1 ounce to heavy for the jig head? I was told 3/8 or 1/4 at SWE for my pearl Cocahoe minnows.

I use 1/2 oz. to 1 oz jig heads and do pretty well. Those that you mentioned are pretty light .
