MusicMan Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Most of my fishing is freshwater. However, I do a fair amount of saltwater inshore fishing while traveling. I need a new setup for freshwater flippin (braid line). Could I use an Energy PT (inshore) rig with a medium heavy to heavy rod for flipping freshwater AND inshore stuff? I researched and it seems to be a no-brainer. Am I missing something? Thanks! Quote
Bayou Bass Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Sounds like a good setup to me. My salt/fresh setup is a 7'2" Cumara, and a 100 calcutta. I spool it with 40lb power pro. For fresh I use it for jigs, topwater frogs etc... For salt I use it for 1/2oz gold spoons and spinner baits. I mostly fish for reds and speckled trout down here. I find the small size of the calcutta easy to palm so my hand does not get tired after a long day. Obviously this setup is more catered to salt but it gets the job down in fresh. Good luck Quote
GonzoFishing Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 It would work perfectly. I mostly fish inshore saltwater and just started getting serious with freshwater fishing and I use most of my gear for double duty. The only difference IMO are the lures. Quote
