>>807084I have never seen anybody uses spinners for salt.
>I'm just afraid because I know as soon as I really start going for saltwater, I'm going to spend like $1000 in tackle within a month. The freshwater spending is already out of hand.You don't need to buy any saltwater specific rods or reels, just bring what you have rinse everything down after a trip. Didn't you say you have an ugly stik you got for pier fishing once? Bring that and a spinning bass combo, you should be good with that for inlet fishing. You only need the heavy gear for offshore and pier fishing since you have to wrestle fish away from structure.
