re: Help with fishing pole purchase

I use allstars for saltwater. I'm not big on the combos. I use penn spinning reels. And my go to bait is a vudu shrimp. I saw h2o copied the vudu pretty good and at a much better price. Buy a few different colors and use them with or without a cork. Also, stock up on some swim baits, different colors and sizes. A good variety is nice because you never know what they'll be hitting. If the vudu isn't catching them, my next favorite is a sparkle beetle. Split tail, clear, sparkles in it, red dot on one side(not sure if the actual name is sparkle beetle). And if you're going after reds, have a few gold spoons. I keep a few silver too.
