Anglers who normally fish with artificial lures can select a very good and reasonably priced spinning outfit that includes a medium weight, 6 1/2-foot spinning rod similar to Bass Pro Shops’ IM6 or IM7 Graphite Series and an open-faced spinning reel like the Shimano Saros 2500F. Some fishermen prefer spooling 12-pound monofilament, giving added casting distance. Anglers commonly thread a Gulp or Bass Assassin Sea Shad trailer behind a 1/4-ounce chartreuse or red jighead when casting to redfish.
Fly anglers frequently choose an 8-weight fly rod and reel with a floating line and about 9 feet of leader ending in a 20-pound fluorocarbon tippet. Popular flies include various Deceivers or Clouser minnows that mimic small baitfish or shrimp.
