reel advice

[carney2134]

i need some help. i am heading down to sarasota florida in january for a trip and and all my fishing gear is mainly for smaller fish in NY, i am looking to get something bigger for salmon starting next year and want to get it before i head down. any advice? i have used spinning reels 99% of the time and saw some conventional reels that hold some serious line. i will be shore fishing the whole time and am in no means a serious fisher, so I'm looking to spend under 150 for a rod and reel that would be good for my trip and also good size salmon from the lake.


thanks

Cabela's has a combo that should fit the bill and price range. Med/heavy rod for the shore and should be good for salmon. I'm not a salmon fisherman, but it looks good.
Salt Striker/whuppinstick
Reel ss-65
Rod wssm H 90-2
Line braid will get you better distance for the weight.
Above all, have fun.

I use Shimano rods and reels and like them quite a bit. I do saltwater salmon fishing mostly using the Tekota reels and Convergence rods. Not sure if they are available in your area.
