There is a place in Centreville, Md that sells some kayaks. It pretty close to you and its on the water. They may let you demo one or two. I believe they sell native and a few other brands. A place in Lewes, De also specializes in kayaks. You can rent from there. I think they have a few Hobies.

Yeah I almost bought a used reel but I didn't want to buy a trashy reel. I figured it would turn me off of casters forever haha.

@A-Jay Thanks for the advice. I am a little nervous with trying a caster but I hope that it will make me a better fisherman!

Thanks @Darren.!! I have viewed dozens of articles on this site and I figured it was time to join. I am definitely going to check that reel out.

Thank you for your help. I want to make sure I will like a bait caster before making a huge purchase. That being said I definitely want a reliable set up. I will check out that rod and reel. Thanks again!

Man I wish I could go!! There was a show on Kent Island, Maryland last weekend. It was awesome!! Only problem with shows is that the bait monkey seems to become a bait gorilla lol.

Hello everyone, I am a new member of this site but I have been fishing for a while. I usually only use spinning reels when fishing. I have wanted to get a bait caster for a while and this weekend I am going to buy one. I want to stay under one hundred dollars for my first one. I have been looking at the Abu Garcia Silver Max and I was wondering if it seems like a decent rod and reel combo? Also what type of line should I use? I was talking to a guy at a fishing show and he said Fluorocarbon instead of mono or braid. What is better the 6 1/2 foot rod, or the 7 foot rod? Any tips or insight would be appreciated. Thanks. Tight Lines!!
