Just moved to Seattle and am trying to learn about saltwater fishing, so hi everyone, I'm new.
I need some input on what rod to get to go with my Ambassadeur 6500 reel. I already have setups for 1oz. and less. I live right next to a couple of piers in Elliott bay so I want to cast buzz bombs and stuff for salmon. Also want to go for lingcod and other fish.
I have no boat. Always fishing from shore, pier, or surf. Lures only, no bait, 3oz. max.
Surf is rare, the sound and piers are every day.
The only options seem to be inshore rods and surf rods. Either one would be a compromise in one way or another, but, for shore fishing around the sound, is the long casting performance of a surf rod more important than the fast handling convenience of an inshore rod? Vice versa? Anyone have a favorite "go-to" rod for shore and pier lure fishing in the sound?
Have been leaning towards the inshore rod because as a bass angler, it seems familiar, but, I am not sure.
thanks
