I like to shore/surf fish for corbina. My next quest is trying to catch rays, skates and possibly a guitarfish. I have done well this early Spring and caught all three off the jettys in the harbor and (Ventura) my biggest guitarfish was just under 5 feet long (4′10″) and weighing somewhere along the lines of 70 or 80 pounds. I released it and regret doing it, but I can’t kill a shark. So now I am all pumped up and want to know how I go about surf fishing for them? I want that 5 footer again!
Any particular tackle, bait or lures? Specific rods and reels?- Serge

Anyway, what is your favorite Rod/reel and what will you be fishing for?

Hello all at CupidFish I new here and name is Dan from Birmingham AL. Anyway, I am an experienced Bass Fisherman and I use baitcasting rods and reels along with spinning reels. I would like to know id someone can kindly recommend a good baitcaster rod and reel and also a spinning rod and reel. They could be a combo or not, doesn’t matter. Keep below $200 and $300
I really want to get into fly fishing and only spin fished and never really gotten into casting flies. I have zero knowledge and gear and no idea where to start. Should I attend a beginner’s class at my local Orvis outfitter’s store and I expect them to tell me a ton. I just can’t wait for the class in a week. Anyway, any and all info welcome! I need some lists of rods and reels, line, and any other gear I should know about! Thanks!
Fishing rods reels made in the USA? Are there any good Companies left? I’m looking for something small and simple. About 5 or 6 foot with small reel for trout fishing made in the USA, is there anything out there? I went to Walmart and some local sporting goods store and All are made in China or non-usa made?
I thought I’d also join the rush for gear and tackle questions and get some fall striper fishing in. I’ll be going fishing for striped bass/hybrids soon and I don’t think that my rods are enough for them. What kind of rods and reels to you use for stipers? I have a quantum baitcasting combo and a couple spinning reels. I also have some saltwater gear that my grandfather left me. I don’t want to break a rod. Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
