Thanks for the replies, I like the flounder run almost as much as catching nice trout. I remember when 300$ bought the best rod and reel out there, hell some of the reels go up to 400&500$ and same with the rods. I dont want to go buy a bunch of crap that I will never use, thats why Im asking the questions. I will be fishing the Galveston Bay complex
heck I buy the gander mnt brand spinning combo for 80 bucks and I love it. Handles specs flounder or anything like that great
