Thanks Benji. Don't know too much about Daiwa inshore spinning rods. I know Daiwa makes an awesome conventional surf reel. I got the Saltist BG30. I am a shimano whore when it comes to inshore spinners (got 3 teramars and a stradic, sahara). Yeah I really dont need another spinner rod but I found a brand new one for $100 (usually $200). Only thing is that its white. I dont know if i can fish on a white rod lol. If your interested, I can PM you where I saw the sale.
