fluke reel/ rod set up

[ScowardNJ]

Outside BI

Conventional- 6'6" Shimano Trevala TVC66MH with a Daiwa Lexa 300. You can bucktail, drag bait, chunk, live line, jig, cast...whatever with it. An Abu C3 5500 will cut down the cost a little.

Spinning - 7' Trevala with a Penn Battle 3000/4000. Shimano Baitrunner 6000D for a few more bucks isn't a bad option also but it's heavier.

Both those set ups will work great in the bay also but if you want to lighten up a little go with any 6'6" to 7' medium power fast action spinning rod with a 2500/3000 sized reel and you are totally covered for the bay. Again, the Penn Battles have been pretty solid for what you pay.

Conventional---I've been having fun with a 6'6" Medium action baitcast rod (old Fenwick SeaHawk) with a Lexa 100 I got on sale for $50.

15 pound braid inside the bay
30 pound braid outside
