There is a wide variety of equipment that you could use for the lighter and medium applications.
Ugly Stick can and will meet your expectations for most general fishing.
It would be difficult to get into every aspect of every piece of equipment in just one or two posts so I will tell you what I use. Others can chime in as well to tell what they use.
Shimano, Diawa, Penn, Mitchel and Okuma reels are in my arsenal for Saltwater Spin Reels. I have different sizes from the 1000 class to 5500s in the Shimano lines, 30s to 50s in the Okuma lines, Mitchell 300 and 400 series. There are different sizes for differrent line sizes and capacities.
My Saltwater spinning rods range from 5' (ultra light to) to 7 1/2 foot (stout) and I also have several spin class surf fishing rods that are in the 9 to 16 foot range.
The Diawa Beefstick makes a good general use spinng rod for heavier saltwater spinning. The Ugly stick is also very good.
Regaurdless of what you decide to purchase, and other items that may get recommended to you, try to stay away from those combos that come with line already shrink wrapped on them. They are generally inferior quality and you will need to buy more of them as they break.[cool]
