Had a couple of generous offers from Riverdog and Kochanut to borrow rods for a Sept. Florida trip, but figured I better grab my own. I will be fishing the surf from the beach for spawning Snook and whatever also wants to dance.
I had been looking at several rods in the $160-$220 range and had been eyeing a Cabelas TLr Saltwater rod in that range, good reviews so it was in the mix, well they went on sale last week $160 to $119...not passing that up, arrived yesterday, nice fit and finish, a really nice Blue blank with dark Blue wraps, 4 piece carry on rod...I added a Cabela's 9/10 RLs+ reel as it was on sale also, great looking machined reel, drag is smooth as butter! Pretty impressed with this set up so far, will be loaded with either a sink tip or intermediate line.
