(rod and reel for under $300)[fishon] I have plenty of lures and all, just was wondering, im 15 and first time fishing for albies so i'll take any advice i can get Any tips on finding them (don't expect locations lol) besides looking for birds and such, ideal weather?

I use my srtiper set up of a 7" spinning rod and reel. Braided line of 20lb has worked well. One of my rigs is a combo by Penn and was under $300. Good luck. [signature] |
