Rod for my shimano sahara

how much you looking to spend?

A coastal could do just fine for both.

awesome, i appreciate the feedback. any recommendations as to 6'6" or 7'?

I prefer 7'. Especially for inshore.

I always go longer. My lone spinning set up is a 7'6" rod and I couldn't complain. Check out a Star Stellar Lite fast taper rods.

Star Stellar Rod Series

I have caught everything from bass, catfish, specks, reds, mackerel, bluefish, small mangroves and even a bonita on that rod. The one I have is the 7'6" 8-17lb Med(fast). It handles it all beautifully. Star rods are primarily known as offshore rods, but I recommend them for inshore or bass as well. I primarily use it as my popping cork rod when inshore and the longer rod increases my casting distance for sure which can make a difference with trout especially.

For freshwater, I usually use it as a topwater rod and it serves me well.

I have a new custom 6'3 rod thanks to a choupique

I rolled one up in my dads bed cover this summer. From 7'-6'2". It's a broomstick now

If you like split grip/EVA handles, then the falcon bucoo could be a good choice too.

Whatever you get, for salt and freshwater double duty I'd suggest a 7' rod with a medium action.

Carrot Stick, Salty Stick Inshore rod. I use mine for exactly what you describe and love it.

I have a BassPro Extreme that is in your price range that is great for what your fishing for.

I had two and both of them broke at the tip. Sucks, because I really liked them when they were whole.

Yeh I lost the graphite insert to my tip last time I fished but it was fixable. So far that's the only problem I've had.
