I just got into salt water fishing and am looking for good starter fishing pole/reel thats for a decent price. any help would be great thanks

If your looking for a decent price. Check out academy, They sometime have rod riots this time of year. Just a heads up they might not last that long. I would invest in some good gear if you plan on fishing alot.

hvictony, What kind of fish will you be trying to catch? Inshore, Offshore?

(O-Yeah,,,Its called a fishing "Rod")Ha-Ha-Ha-Ha-,,,,,,,,

those $19.99 rod and reel combo's from walmart are pretty good.

Welcome to the TFF!
Penn makes a good starter ROD for about 75 bucks (slammer series,
7', 20-50#, spinning)
and Cant go wrong w/ a Penn 850ssm loaded w/ 65# braid.
probably cost you less than $200 total, catch 90% of the fish
you'll be after in your first year, and will probably last until you're ready to upgrade, providing you don't abuse it.
hope this helps

This question is way to vague to answer.


Give us some more info.

Naw, it's just harder to think like a beginner once you've been deluged w/ useful information. suddenly the simple stuff doesn't seem to work anymore......

as of right now i am just plan on doing some inshore fishing.

Daiwa Inshore 7'6 M and then mount a Penn Captiva.

That would be a nice sturdy easy to maintain setup.

If you want to go with a baitcasting setup then I would looking into a Daiwa Inshore or All Star GT40X. For a reel go to Ebay and look for a Shimano 200CU Bantam (Green) if you are left handed look for the 201CU.

I'll double that All-Star GT-40x. I love that rod
7' m/h casting, use it for Reds, stripers, snapper, blackfin......

I don't know your location, but the combos at Fishing Tackle Unlimited are what I use. And they come with a lifetime warranty, which is good for me!
