I've caught halibut and annoying heavy stingrays no problem, but that could just be the strength of my Ugly Stick to begin with.
When the striper come in during the runs, its a 7' light rod with a 2500 battle for the shoolies. They are at most 2 pounds. I get to feel the fight in the rod and have fun. When the bigger striper come through, I move to a 3500 size battle and a 7' Medium heavy rod with more backbone. A 2lb schoolie on a MedHeavy rod is like a stick and a gold fish. Feeling the fish is harder on a stiff rod and small fishg. Its fun, but not as much on a light tackle rod. When the bigger fish come in, I want the backbone to fight the fish, and not snap the rod.
The only difference between fresh and salt is that after I saltwater fish, I rinse the reel with freshwater to get the salt off. Salt kills everything. Its the same reel. I have never rinsed a reel I use in freshwater. I just do the same maintenance on the reel yearly. The size is key.
If you are not sure, and buy a battle 3500 with a 7' ugly stick, you will have a combination for life.
