I live in Cocoa Beach. I take a boat out in the mangroves but usually kayak around until I find some fish.

I catch trout, redfish, snook right now, and pretty much everything else there is to catch around here.

Can someone suggest a reliable setup for me? I'd be willing to spend 200 bucks but wouldn't mind spending less.

You forgot, spinning or baitcaster?

to be honest, i'd recommend spending a little more and getting a real quality rod and reel...that way you don't have to worry about upgrading and it'll last a hell of a lot longer

I bought a package deal from Cabela's...I think it's their 7' Tourny-Trail IM7 rod with a Shimano Sedona 2500 spinning real. I freaking love it, and it only cost $90.

I mainly bass fish, but I use shimano. Best stuff IMO for the price.

In my opinion, if you learned how to use a baitcaster, you wouldn't go back.

That said I like 6 or 6.5 foot rods. Stiff ones preferably. With shimano reels
