daiwa emblem 45 scw qd gold spool reel 23 OT Big Pit Fishing — CPS Tackle 20 EMBLEM 45 SCW QD

Choice is often personal preference

The rod blank is tapered much more carefully than those of our other picks, with power throughout and a gradual, even flex into the tip where it suddenly offers the sensitivity of a bait rod

Final Recommendations at a Glance For light tackle targeting corbina, surfperch, and croaker: skip the braid and run 15lb mono

If Snook, Tarpon, Bass are your fish of choice then this, and well as the rod I detail in setup #3 are great choices.I love to fish weedless/weightless soft plastics and this rod despite being thick/strong does a great job of flicking lighter baits around

Repeat this with pauses in between

Rating this reel was a bit of a challenge
