I don't pier fish so take it FWIW. Not a lot different than boat fishing. Depends on how you're fishing and what you're targeting. Throwing lots of lures? Live bait? Chunks? How much weight do...

Can be nice for chunk bait too. Redfish sometimes will take a chunk a little slow (especially a big chunk that cuts down on the catfish) and gives them time to get hooked before tension pulls the...

Short version : it will let the fish run with bait in the mouth . Must have if you use live bait . Trout is known to be a pain & I personally use them for Striped Bass & Carp too

This sounds like someone who takes care of his reels. I would argue that when someone complains about their "freshwater reel failing after fishing in saltwater for only two sessions" it's more than...

A baitfeeder has the option of freeing up the line so that the fish can take live bait without feeling resistance and run with it a bit, allowing for delayed hookset.

Going on 2 years now fishing the salt every weekend with my ABF30b. Only maintenance has been freshwater rinse when back from fishing and a drop of oil now and again on the line roller bearing. No...

It's not a "true" saltwater reel but it can definitely be used in the salt. As long as you lightly rinse with freshwater after *EVERY* outing, remove the spool and check the rotor after every few...

If you take care of your reels and know how to do basic service and cleaning on them, most reels will hold up just fine to saltwater use. Sure, don't expect an Ugly Stik GX2 combo reel to last long...

Look at the GX2 rods. The pairing will depend on what size reel you got though.

Ugly Stick. Probably the most versatile rod I've used in a long time. Really cheap at Wal Mart! May even come with a cheapo reel you can use for your kid.

I am very new to fishing. Always went with my dad and used his gear. This is my first reel I've purchased that didn't come with a rod. Ugly stick is good, but what size pairs up to this reel the...

No it is not going to hold up with regular saltwater use at all, no reel in this price range will tho. Daiwa BG and Penn Battle are the cheapest saltwater reels worth a damn. I am looking forward to...

Im guessing the okuma would be more comparable to the Penn Fierce live liner series.
The SSV is going to be much better built with added sealing and a better drag system.
But still $40 for this...

Yes. Check the line capacities for comparable sizing. I'd probably go with the 80b, which seems to have slightly less line capacity than the Penn 850.
And to save $125+ vs the Penn SSV LL, it's...
