Hey everybody.
We've got a 19 foot boat and are going to try some of our first trips out past the jetties this year when seas are pretty flat. We'll be buddy-boating with two other experienced boaters for three boats total for safety. These guys have my back as far as that stuff goes.
My problem right now is all of our rods and reels are basically bay stuff. So, to start it off, I'm looking for some suggestions on rod and reel combos. I know this stuff can get crazy expensive but at the moment I'd like to have two mid-range rod and reel combos for about $250.00 apiece.
So, what would you guys recommend as far as a solid, or at least decent, rod and reel for $250.00 and under? Also, what is a pretty good all around brand of line and its strength for general deeper water fishing for kings/snapper/etc?
As always I appreciate the help.
