Hi, I don't have a boat so i do a lot of surf fishing. I was wandering if you can give me the name of a very good reel and/or rod for fluke. And then another good reel/rod for stripers/blues.
I'm not that concerned with price but i'd rather not spend over $200. Thanks

The reel for the heavier surf outfit is a no-brainer. Penn 704Z. $70 or so, and it'll last a long time with minimal maintenece, and won't let you down when you need it the most. This will let you spend a little more on a quality rod. The Daiwa Sealine-X is a good starter rod and one you can grow with, too. If you want to spend a little more, and not go too far over the $200 target, look at the St Croix Ben Doerr line.

Al---if there's some protocol here about waiting for you to make the first response to any question, let me know. You remember how it was at "another site" with "another forum host"

Don't want to step on your toes, bud. I'll be out and about tomorrow, maybe tonight too.
