Need advice
Posted: Sun Apr 17, 2016 7:56 am
Hi all
I'm in charge of buying a retirement gift for a colleague who's also my fishing buddy, and I''ve landed on a travel rod and reel but I need advice. Does anyone have experience with one of these? I'm thinking that a salt water combo would be best since it's versatile and he's bound to get down South eventually though for now it'll mostly be freshwater fishing. Baitcasting or spining, action and lenght, what's likely most versatile? I started looking around and Sail has an Okuma spinning rod that's saltwater and they have a St Croix bc rod that's also saltwater. Don't know if Ed carries any or the other tackle shops around. Any advice much appreciated. Tx. Rob
Forgot to mention: my budget is about $500
