Hi y'all. I've only just started fishing, and I'm looking to buy my first spinning setup. I live in South East Louisiana and primarily fish from land. Every once in a while, I get out on a boat with a friend. I don't know ANYTHING about this at all lol. I know that I like casting FAR. I usually use a bobber (don't laugh) because I'm just learning ??♀️ I've only caught a few fish so far. I'd like something that lets me cast pretty far, doesn't have an issue with the brackish water we have here, can handle the big alligator gar that I seem to fight and catch most often, has a smooth feel, doesn't break the bank since this is my first setup, etc. Can y'all help a girl out, please? I'm enthralled with the idea of catching a monster, and lost something that felt HUGE to a gator once ?
