im liking Rafael plan.... roll into Jansens shop...drop some coin on lures there and maybe a rod and prob walk away w a lot good intel..... here and there I travel to fly fish in areas I never been so I drop in a couple shops along the way buy a doz flys they recommend and usually walk away w local knowledge ....

sweet setup!

always shoot a piglet. that way u just use the weber.....

get a few Roberts rangers whistlers......they fly.....and under 3 oz. also gt ice cream skinny.

1st conventional....1st trip w rod. id use it at least 3 trips before I cut anything......have u set it in a sand spike? lot to say for stock...the folks at penn do plenty r and d. take it to a shop and ask someone w rod building to look at you and the rod to see if anything is grossly out of whack. inre the reel seat and ur arm length ....

corolla is a great place to fish for flounder

I see my trailer as my boats range.....id get a new one...even if you do a great job rebuilding the old one it wont really increase the value of your set up..where u say 2019 trailer in the future if you sell it will more than make up the price difference...imho.

similar. spin 2500ll w a tsunami 7 6 3pc travel rod. 3/8 jighead and a gulp. done.

be prepared. b comfortable throwing 12ft rod. preferably conventional. load w 17 lb mono. attach 8 oz sinker at home imagine ur on the pier and u got a 12x12 area to cast.practice till u know u won't screw up. when u get to pier the end is where ur going. there is typically a yellow line that folks stand behind so you can cast safely. often there will b a regulator of sorts.....so watch for a minute, slam a beer , walk up , announce ur gonna cast, and bust that cast u been practicing ....... now the easy part....drink more beer until ur rod goes off.

how about a bnib bg 8000 never spooled and a never fished long cast daiwa emcast plus 5000a w fresh hi vis braid?I bought these specifically for lc and rooster fishing ....my arms telling me to slow things down a bit.....if you search emcast plus 5000a here hpd high plains drifter gives some good feedback on this reel.

offer 80 shipped to the obx ...pp or however...thx for considering

no

3 - 4 oz.....although I'm trying to downsize a bit and may just get whistlers....they fly!

thx for the replies.....I have a stradic 5000...and have really been babying it for too long...used on pier and boat mainly....its time for her to see some sand.... thx again.

looks like slammer 3 6500 , saltist 5000 , and bg 5000 may b best bets.
