I'm looking to get a rod/reel that I can use off a boat AND surf/pier.
I'm not aiming for any particular type of fish, just want a good dependable rod that I can use in any place.
I want a spinning reel since its what I'm use too.
I recently made the mistake of getting a Catch More Fish Surf/Pier combo from a WalMart, which I already returned.
I'm looking to buy a Shakespeare rod, I know there might be better rods out there right now, but my preference (and for my budget) I want a Shakespeare.
I know UglyStik is what everyone will recommend, however I need a 2 piece rod.
I've currently been looking at the Shakespeare Powerod and Shakespeare Wicked Stik. (recommendations on these?)
I need a good spinning reel to go with the rod.
I already know the type of line I'm going to put on the reel (Trilene XL 20lb. test)
