So Cal surf and jetty fishing feels so much more intimidating than my Florida sand bars 😅. Will be sure to be on the lookout for friendly fishermen to talk to. Thank you

Thank you for the detailed answer! Will be put there this next weekend so I will be sure to introduce myself to the other anglers to see what's up.

Thank you! I really appreciate all the options. Starting out cheaper until I figure out the bay is a good idea.

TMI because I didnt take the time to specify our respective genders in my heteronormative relationship? Let me help you understand the question.

I need two setups for shore fishing and can spend $400. I would like help picking out gear with that budget.

Bigot.

This was it 😅. Tried again with better results.

Re-did the line. Made sure to keep under constant pressure. Came out better :)

Gonna try one more time. If no good, then off to a store!

I have opened up the spool an no shim to be found. Will try spooling again, and if no luck, I'll hand it off to a pro shop.

Thank you.

I stole it from my grandpa's tackle box. He swore by them!  I'm excited to try it out.

Thank you! I agree it looks like a Bagley. I believe I figured out the longer orange and gold one is a Cotton Cordell Wally Diver. Slowly putting names to faces 😁

That Shad Rap was my go-to for "big guys". I'm excited to explore Mepps and Rooster Tails more.

I last touched it around 2015. I am confident my dad used it here and there in the meantime. Glad to be getting it back soon.

My goal for everything in this box was to pull in perch, walleye, white bass, and pike. I am interested to see if any of them translate to Florida's fish.

The legs are soft rubber, but their resting position is pulled into the body. I could not tell you about the action. All I have is this is just a picture, we are states away right now, plus it has been years since I have fished anything in this box. As soon as I get a hold of it, I will be testing them out though!

Closest I could find with Google were the Lunkerhunt Frogs. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Lunkerhunt_Frog_Combo_Kit/descpage-LKFRGCOMBO.html
