Earlier this year I bought one of the 10' 4pc surf spin rods on sale. I cut the foam sections off around the reel seat to suit me but besides that it is not a bad rod. I was a pleasantly surprised. It casts ~2oz bucktails pretty well.
The discounted waders at Albright seem to be a great deal. Does anyone know anything about the quality of their fly reels, the GPX in particular, for salt water use?
