| Star Plasma is very hard to beat. I have a conventional with a Shimano Trinidad TN20 and a spinning with a Quantum Cabo 80. Both are spooled with 65# braid and I use about 10' of 80# mono leader. W ... | |

| I think we're going to stick around nearshore. May cobia fish or troll for spanish. Haven't decided yet. 4' @ 6s is a little bumpy to be offshore on anything smaller than 30'. | |

| A chain of small squids followed by a skirted ballyhoo seems to do well there. Things get crowded if you're running teasers though. | |

| The Falcon Coastal XG series is pretty good for $80-90. I'm happy with the handful I have. More of a moderate action, but definitely nice for long casts and keeping treble hooks in a fish. | |
