I agree with @J Francho here. While I've actually gone the other direction - I mostly use spinning now, pared down my casting gear. I set out to go casting-only and ended up concluding (for me) spinning met the majority of my needs, for a variety of reasons. But for some uses I still prefer casting gear. They both have their place.

That's a negative. We've seen no issues with braid in salt/fresh.

One of my favs, as well. Really like the football style head.

Bass Pro sells a plastic "box" of what 6 or 8 wacky jigs, or at least they used to. Just did a search and only their weedless popped up in packs of 4. Might be in the store, or may be named differently and didn't show up in "wacky jig" search. I used to buy the non-weedless and made my own.

Welcome aboard! I second @A-Jay's recommendation to scour the articles section. Great info for beginners and veterans alike.

Holy schmokes! Drop shot is awesome for LM and SM! I use it often for largies down here (no smallies in my locale, sadly).

Sigh...I guess when DSG leaves Patrick Henry Mall it's a sign of the Mall Apocolypse. Sad.

Just checked them out. Looks great, super close, fast shipping to my area. Thanks for the tip, John!

It does, but it's not 100% stoppage of degradation. It's like you buy a diving watch - it's only water resistant (not proof) down to a certain depth/atm. Boats down here that see saltwater use will use stainless. I tend to use galv. in all my yaks, but in some sets of screws or bolts I've bought from same bin, I've had at least a couple get totally corroded while others show zero signs of rusting. The acceleration for me started after I first hit the saltwater. Anyhoo, I figure you know all this. Imperfections, and usage wearing the zinc coating down will allow a corrosive in. Just look at all those galvanized cars up north where salt is used heavily in the winter. From same Wiki:
