Rod: The Slam Stick Reel: The new Daiwa 23 Fuego LT 2500D-XH Line: Pre-Spooled Daiwa J-Braid: This combo comes pre-spooled with the best 10 lb braid we've tested so far in terms of casting distance and strength... and we've tested a bunch of lines over the years.

The Slam Stick The best value fishing rod for under $200. Quick Takeaways: High-quality rod blank that compares to rods in the $200-250 range Fast action for a quick hook set Perfectly positioned guides to maximize lure-casting Durability to let you fish and transport it with piece of mine (not a pure "performance" rod) Overall quality is in between the TFO Pro S and Slot Machine. The perfect intermediate-level rod. Fish Strong's best rod warranty Is the Slam Stick Rod For You? We wouldn't tell you to buy a rod just to have it (although rod collecting is an addictive habit of mine). The Slam Stick is for the angler who loves fishing with artificial lures, wants great feel and power, but also needs durability. It makes life easy for CASTING, CATCHING, and CARING. Casting: For casting artificial lures, having a high-quality rod blank with PERFECTLY placed guides is a game-changer. A top-end rod blank lets you get maximum "load" on the rod while casting so your lure launches with just the flick of the wrist. The Slam Stick's rod blank is similar in quality to rods of well over $200 and is tough enough to handle big lures as well. Also, the Slam Stick comes in the 7"6" length which is our recommended length for maximizing your casting skills. You'll notice the improvement in your casting distance and accuracy immediately from your lower end rods. Catching: The Slam Stick really shows it's value when the bite is on. Again, it comes back to having a great FAST-ACTION rod blank. Fast action means the rod first bends toward the tip of the rod. So when you go to set a hook, you don't have to wait for the whole rod to bend and absorb the weight to pull the line. Think of it like a "quick-set" rod, just the twitch of the wrist is all it takes to drive the hook in. Then, after the hook set the weight of the fish is transferred into the strong backbone of the Slam Stick, allowing you to handle big bruising fish without worrying about your rod falling. Caring: The Slam Stick is built to use! This is a "go-to" rod, not just for breaking out on special occasions. It is built with sound quality from top to bottom and has high-end protective paint that lets you get a little rougher with it. Now, it won't survive the trash compactor (or worse the grandkids) but it will do just fine hauling in and out of vehicles, through the garage, and bouncing around on the boat a little. This is the rod that gives you an extremely enjoyable fishing experience with artificial lures, while also providing the peace of mind that you don't need to "baby" it. This is your EVERYDAY rod. We're so confident in the quality of this rod that we're giving it our best rod warranty yet (more on that below), making this a truly worry-free rod purchase. The Slam Stick Specs: High Modulus Carbon Fiber Construction Length: 7'6" Spinning Weight: 5 oz Power: Medium+ Action: Fast Line Rating: 8-15lb.

What goes into building the Best Performing Inshore Spinning Rod on the market? Let’s face it: the majority of tackle shops today are filled with Factory Built Rods made by various brands. Fishermen have grown accustomed to buying rods off the rack, and are often times settling for a rod that is simply “good enough”. As long as it catches fish, it passes the test, right? But what if you had a rod that was specifically designed to optimize casting distance & artificial lure performance? Contrary to popular belief, your fishing rod is the Most Important Tool in your arsenal. Having a rod that allows for accurate casting and great feel of strikes is crucial for serious fishermen who want to consistently catch quality fish. Over the past few years, we’ve been working with some of the industry's top rod building experts and learned that there’s no better way to dial-in the performance of a rod without first building one yourself. We were surprised at not only how easy it is to build your own custom rod, but how much other rod manufacturers were overlooking some EXTREMELY important details in the rod's design! One of the biggest missed opportunities that most rod manufacturers seem to overlook is Guide Spacing and Reel Pairing. Having a guide layout that's placed appropriately for your specific reel size will help optimize casting distance while also reducing the potential for wind knots. After countless hours of field-testing multiple prototype rods, we are proud to say we've nailed in the Recipe for the Perfect Inshore Spinning Rod. And we've made sure this rod was designed to match perfectly with the majority of 2500 & 3000 sized Spinning Reels on the market today. This combo even comes pre-spooled with 10lb Daiwa J-Braid x8 Grand braided line, so you're immediately ready to hit the water. From soup to nuts, the Slot Machine Custom Rod was designed to exceed an Inshore Anglers expectations! Features: High Modulus Carbon Fiber Construction Length: 7'6" Spinning Weight: 4.4 oz Power: Medium Action: Fast Line Rating: 8-15lb. Lure Rating: 1/8oz-3/4oz Butt Length: 8.5" from bottom of reel seat to butt cap Fuji Guides - Tangle Free KL-H-Alconite Fuji TVS Reel Seat w/ Back Stop Locking Nut Premium Hook Keeper (Works Well with Weedless Lures) High Grade Cork Grip Reel Pairings: This rod was designed using the BG MQ 2500, so this premium performance combo allows you to get a custom designed all-purpose inshore fishing setup that's perfectly paired for fish catching fun. Best of all, you won't have to pay $800+ for a custom rod and high-end reel. This premium combo is offered as a bundle with line pre-spooled on it for a special package price. And if you're an Insider Club member, you get an additional discount which makes this an incredible deal for a custom rod with a premium reel that it was designed for. Note: This combo comes pre-spooled with 10 lb J-Braid 8 Grand which is the line that has outshined the others in terms of strength, casting distance, and abrasion resistance. The line color will either be Dark Green, Gray Light or Island Blue depending on availability. Shipping Details: There is a $30 flat rate shipping fee for the Slot Machine Custom Rod (up to 3 Rods can be purchased within the same order). This Rod can be ordered in combination with any other Rod as well (TFO, Cashion, etc.). If more than 3 rods are ordered, there will be an additional $30 flat rate s

Click here to add a Slam Stick Rod and Save The Otis 2500 spinning reel was customized specifically for inshore saltwater fishermen who are targeting strong fish on lightweight gear without having to break the bank. After 4+ years of product design and testing, this reel has proven to be a fish catching machine that is super fun to fish with. It weighs in at just 7 ounces which is extremely light, but it has enough power to handle overslot redfish and big snook. It has a smooth carbon drag that has enough power to effectively use 40 lb braid (although we recommend 7 lb to 15 lb for optimal casting performance).

Otis 2500 Specs: Weight = 7.0 oz Inches per turn = 36 inches Bearings = 7 Line Recommendation = 6 to 15 lb braid Drag = Super Smooth 14 lb Spool Holds = 220 yd of 10lb line but we recommend a mono backing and fill until there is a 1/4" gap Warranty: This reel was custom designed for Salt Strong members who enjoy catching big saltwater fish with light tackle, so the warranty program is split between members and non-members giving members an industry leading 2-year replacement coverage program.

Polk County Tweaker (New Twitch Lure)
$6.99
Salt Strong
"The ultimate soft plastic jerk lure for generating strikes from fish that aren't feeding." The Polk County Tweaker was designed to be the farthest casting soft plastic twitch lure on the market so that fishermen can reach spooky fish from longer distances away. This lure has a dimpled skin which helps for skipping, distance casting, and keeping scent on the lure for longer periods of time. Best of all, the shape of this lure is perfect for allowing fishermen to easily get great darting action that generates strikes regardless of which rigging option is chosen... just the slightest twitch of a rod tip, and this lure darts just like an injured baitfish or a scared shrimp. The PC Tweaker rigs easily on both weighted hooks as well as various jigheads so that you can cover depth zones spanning from 0 to 100 ft. The PC Tweaker Lure Specs: Made in the USA Length = 4 inches Weight = 0.25 ounces Dimpled skin allow for longer casts and look like scales Easy to rig (jig heads and weighted hooks) Pairs perfectly with Hoss Helix weighted hooks & Round Eye Jigheads Loaded With Special Fish Scent For Extra Strikes Super-Fast Action Tail Available in both Regular Pack (7 Lures) or Bulk Bag (100+ Lures)! Note: Here's what we like best for rigging these lures: RIGGING TIPS: - Shallows (2.5 ft or less): Hoss Helix 3/0 hooks - More than 2.5 ft deep: Hoss Round Eye Jigheads - 3/0 sized hooks EDUCATION: - See Rigging & Retrieving Lessons - See Rigging Selector Guide MOST POPULAR COLOR - Slam Shady After years of testing out all different color patterns, there has been 1 that has consistently proven to be a top performer in the entire spectrum of water clarity and region... And that color has been plain white. The science behind this fact is that the white color takes on the tint of the water since the only color the fish can see is the tint of the water in between it and the lure. The reason this is extremely helpful in catching fish is that the baitfish will naturally be trying to blend into the color of the water too... so the white lures automatically take on the right tint the predators are looking for. The downfall of white is that it sometimes hides the lure too well given that it's blending in with the color of the water. To fix this blending issue, we added in some flash to help ensure that the fish's eyes get drawn to it to maximize the number of strikes we can get. But instead of just adding in either silver or gold flash (the two most popular and effective flash colors for years), we added them both to make sure it works when the fish are responding to both silver and gold. And the initial testing of our exclusive Slam Shady color pattern has been extraordinary! It has proven to outperform every color we've tested it against. With this 1 color, you won't have to worry about changing to a different color because it works across the entire water clarity spectrum for both fresh and saltwater fisheries. Guarantee We have tested this lure in various regions with different water clarities, and it has proven to get great results so we stand behind its performance.

The Story Behind the Mulligan style: It's all about science and history... 126 years ago on a cold day in Scotland, Peter G. Fernie was electrified with excitement as he stood behind his workbench staring at the round white ball with dimples... Based on Peter’s engineering background, he was certain these small indentions would give a golfer more distance per drive, but he had no idea this early invention would revolutionize the game of golf forever... giving golfers around the world more distance than they ever imagined possible. It was a few years later in 1905, when English engineer William Taylor, co-founder of the Taylor-Hobson company, would patent the revolutionary dimple design - quickly making golf balls without dimples extinct... Why were dimples on the golf ball so important? It all boils down to aerodynamics... the dimples gave the ball such an aerodynamic advantage that it could go 100% farther than the original flat-surfaced golf balls without dimples! That means a good golfer could take their drive from 150 yards all the way to 300 yards due to dimples. One day in October 2021, Salt Strong co-founder Luke Simonds pitched an idea for adding golf ball-like dimples to a new lure he was designing with a hunch that the dimples would give the lure some added performance while looking like fish scales too. But the other co-founder, Joe Simonds, started doing some research and found the astounding facts about how game-changing dimples provided to be for golf balls. Our very first prototype lure with dimples proved to be a fish catching machine, and the rest is history.
