Baitcast setup for inshore

[RichWentFishing504]

Do you fish the trestles or causeway a lot? A medium heavy is nice for 3/8 and 1/2 oz jigging that deep water. Also moves a redfish good if your fishing for reds in the marsh.

Since you already have a spinning that's good with popping corks that's the route I would go.

The only MH rods I own get used for bass fishing. I dont find they are sensitive enough for me to detect subtle trout bites in the winter. I fish exclusively with ML and M inshore. Not saying thats the only way though, just what works for me.

What lengths do you prefer?

Honestly.....its very difficult to find a rod sensitive enough to feel that subtle bottom bite on a tail that has enough backbone to effectively work a top without wearing out your wrist. They exist, but not in the price range you are looking for. This one will get you close.

I have this rod with either a lew's tourney pro or a shimano chronarch. nice set-up without breaking the bank.

What price range would I have to jump to for that?

I could go up to $250. If I jump up to a pricier rod what length, power, and action should I get?

Thanks. The spinning setup is great for popping corks. It has a lure rating of 3/8-3/4oz and an 8-17 line rating, but fishes in between a M and MH. We fish out of seabrook, but have not done many trips to the Trestles or Causeway thus far. We have mostly been fishing in and around Lake Borgne. My father and I fished Delacroix Pre-K and just were able to get a new boat last year so trying to find our way getting back into it.
