This is a very good combo for pretty cheap. I've had one for 3 years of pretty hard saltwater fish and I've had no problems.

Most of my reels are Shimano Saros 3000s. I have them on various St Croix and Wild Green Carrot Stix and I rally prefer the latter. I also have a Saros 4000 on a Shimano Terez for bigger redfish.

All star rod 7ft. I been buying those H20 reels. No problem and when the salt water eats them up buy a new one. They last me quite a while but I don't go every weekend.

Yikes.......that has to be like fishing with a telephone pole.

Why do you fish with a rod that long?

I'm a fan of spinning reels. St. Croix 7' medium rods and Okuma reels have been solid for me.


Win for live bait. Love my rig.

Abu Garcia 4600C3 on a Kistler 7ft medium. 30lb Power Pro. Jigs and topwaters, mainly. Sometimes popping corks.

Abu Garcia 5500C3 on a 7ft Team Daiwa medium/heavy. 50lb Power Pro for slip cork rigs.

7' medium Abu Garcia vendetta rods w/ shimando sienna 2500's for now. Saving up to upgrade to stradic's. I've mostly been using spin cast lately because I'm using braid. Backlash with braid in a baitcasters ruins a reel for the day.

I like baitcasters for when there isn't much wind and I need to be more acurate with my casts. I have Calcuttas for that
