First of all, thanks for all the great advice I have gotten so far. But, I need yalls helpagain. I've got a good surf/pier rod set up, a lightweight set up (shimano stradic 2500 on a 6'6" rod with spools in 6 and 8lbs test), and a few other cheap rod/reel combos. However, I'm looking for a rod and reel set up that I can work medium sized topwater lures, jigs, spoons, etc. (think Reds, Specks, etc). Should I stick with a spinning reel? I'm proficient with spinning and baitcasters so the type of reel really doesnt matter, I just know that some baitcasters have a better retrieve ratio. Any recommendations on a reel type? Also, anyone know of any good medium action rods that can be had for <$100. I'm abig fan of All-Star rods, but they can be pricey.I'm looking to spend less than $200 total here, and I'm up for searching around for good used gear...
