Saltwater fly reel recommendation

Kind of like a regular sink tip line?
-
Thanks. I ordered the rio 10ft 5.2 ips. Will a 5 or 6 wt turn them over?
-
Sorry. Meant to post in fly fishing. Mods please move. Thanks.

Just curious on how they work? Looking to get a little deeper fishing dock lights for crappie and bass.

No. It came with the dogwood canyon reel. It's an anchor.

I got them today. I got a 4wt 7 footer and a 5wt 8'6". I bought them as beater rods for the kids. The reel seats are metal. The reels are terrible due to the weight. They are super heavy and throw off the balance on the rod. The line isn't much to write home about either. I put my 4wt Redington zero reel on it with a decent line and it was ok. I'll throw the 5 tomorrow. All in all it was worth $13 bucks. I wouldn't pay retail. Just my.02 cents.

I got shipping notification for 2 combos this morning.

Where do y'all live? I'm in Georgia and have never found a big in any natural materials. Are you taking about store bought stuff or mainly harvested materials? Just wondering if I need to store differently?

I bought a couple for my kids and as a beater for my truck. Hardly, a gamble for 13.

Great info. Thanks guys. I bought a bunch of small jigs. 1/64 and 1/32. Bought them a little smaller then the store bought jigs to make them easier to cast on a fly rod. I'll tie them up with a marabou tail and chenille body. May even try the bugger style.

Thanks Rocco. Yep that's what I was doing. No bobbers just slow retrieve. They didn't seem to like any of the traditional flies you mentioned. I did try them.
