Saltwater Fishing Gear: Starting Out
By Bob Smith..

Saltwater is different than fresh water in a lake or stream. It's not only the fish but the saltwater gear is different than freshwater gear. It's just common sense, if the fish are bigger you're going to need different gear.
Today is not just about skill, it also means having and knowing how to use the proper equipment. Though many of the skills are the same the difference in equipment means you may need to do some practice especially if youre a freshwater person whos going after tuna, swordfish, mackerel or flounder.
Starting with the basics, you want a good rod. You want one in the middle, not the most expensive and not dirt cheap. The rod will set you back from $100 -200+. The least expensive rod is a mistake from the get go. You'll probably pick up some bad habits and no one will want it for resale when you're ready to move up to the next level.
Next on your list is a good saltwater reel. Salt water is highly corrosive eating at the metal in metal reels. Invest the money in reel with is saltwater corrosion resistant. My choice is graphite and aluminum.
Baitcasting and spinning are the main categories of saltwater reels. Baitcasting reels are used for larger heavier fish,

but requires a higher skill level. Spinning reels have a stationary spool making them easier to use. Choose the line to fit your reel and the type of you intend to do. If youre just getting started with saltwater then consider a combo, as the manufacturer attaches the right reel to the right rod.
I'll take some heat on this one, but it's your decision to make your own fly or buy at a local tackle shop. Just choose or make the correct one for the fish you intend to catch. Don't skimp on quality. Fish aren't stupid and won't go for low quality fly.
If you're an experienced freshwater fisherman, you adapt quickly to saltwater with the correct saltwater gear. With the proper gear youll enjoy your as you expand your skills to the saltwater. Saltwater gear properly cared for will provide many years of enjoyable fishing.
