    You are right about not stressing over your first rod, any cheap rod will do for your first few times. I fish at a pier and sometimes the only people catching consistently all day are the little kids with their spiderman fishing set. Anything will work!

    Great advice! I've used all those lures and they work. The rod and reel combo was spot on for inshore. If you guys start with a cheap combo and then want to upgrade later, do it, and then that can become your bait catching rod. Great video

  • @SabrinaSt1986

    The first thing I noticed about this reel is its weight ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels. However, that didn't deter my enjoyment of how smooth this reel is. I spooled it with 20lb. Tuf-Line XP and it's perfect for what I use it for. I have it paired with an 8'6" Medium/Fast Okuma SST Salmon/Steelhead rod. The combination is perfect for casting and even drifting. I used the reel all day and didn't experience any arm or hand fatigue except when fighting a few fish! The bail is solid and feels strong when engaging by reeling and manually closing the bail by hand. The large rubber handle grip is very comfortable. It's got a powerful drag, silky smooth reeling, and feels very comfortable in the hands. I recommend it!

    Freshwater fished DECADES ago. Moved to FL and starting to saltwater fish. Really enjoy your basics and intro video for learning. Lots of talk about knots and line tying. What about swivels? Ease of use was my old thinking. Is that a no-no for saltwater use? Any intro or reintro videos in my case are greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep up the great work!
