Happy Holidays!
Most of us on the north east coast use spinning reels for plug'in, jigging casting and bait fishing. I want to try a conventional or casting reel for saltwater. I have started fishing with bucktails and love'em. I also throw plugs and iron. I plan on using a 10' rod but I am not sure of what reel to use. Weights up to 1 1/2 oz this rod will not be used for bait fishing. Lures only.
Since I fish from the beach, rocks and jetties I am looking for max casting distance at a resonalble price.
Keep in mind I need a reel that can throw a 3/8th oz as well as a 3/4 oz bucktail or lure a good distance.
I use 17lb test line (mono) and 35lb power pro for braid on the reels I have now.
I am thinking about trying the Sufix lines I am looking for a line that works well on conventional reels and casts far.
Any help or suggestions from u and the readers will be great!
