SUBJECT: Good Fluking/sea bass and bluefish/striper set up
Submitted by Broms (207.172.241.216) from NEW JERSEY on
I was looking for some sugggestions on what to buy for bottom fish and some larger fish... my budget is in the 175-200 range for each.

ignore the name, im a pro, one thing, if its from the shore, look at a set up like a 8 ft pole or larger, some striped bass rigs and fluke rigs will catch them, use clams, killies(for fluke) and bunker, even some large plugs can be used, like BOMBERS, and kastmastas -
Brett (67.82.117.192) from NEW JERSEY says All purpose setup
For under $200 I would look at an Uglystick with a ABU Garcia Ambassadeur 6500 (baitcaster) or Shimano Stradic 4000 or 5000 / Penn Spinfisher SSG 4500 or 5500 (spinning). The uglystick will hold up well to use/abuse and if you like you can upgrade later and use the same reel. The Uglystick is only about $60.I prefer conventional reels and you wont find a better application for a conventional reel than here...
If you have time to shop around you may be able to get a good reel like a Penn International 965, Shimano Calcutta 400 with an Ugly Stick in your price range.
