after seeing the reports from this board about tubing the salt water...and that trout season is coming to an end....and a burning itch to spend money, im more than likely gonna invest in some tubing gear. got my mind pretty much set on what tube and such i wanna get, but the only thing im intrested in is a new rod/reel setup for the salt.

im looking for a decent conventional reel setup...leaning towards the shimano corvalus...but what type of rod should i pair with it? any other recommendations or info will be greatly appreciated.

(intrested in levelwinds as this will be my first conventional reel)

thanks
