I'm heading to Port A in a few days. I was wondering what type of rig I should be using on my spin reels. Ideally going after reds sheepshead and speckled trout. Also what line would be best to use?

Yep - been using Power Pro since it came out in 1994.

Perfect for saltwater angling.

My spinning rods get the task of throwing jig heads with plastics, 7-7 1/2" med to med light actions, 2500-3000 class reels.

Topwaters are on casting rods with 15' ande back country mono, 6 1/2 med fast action rods.

Spoons are on 7' casting rods med action with same mono.

That's about my arsenal, fish aren't any more complicated than that.

We don't ever throw bait, so no advice on a meat slinging rig.
