Saltwater fishing is different than fresh water fishing in a lake or stream. It's not only the fish but the saltwater fishing gear is different than freshwater gear. It's just common sense, if the fish are bigger you're going to need different gear.
When you go saltwater fishing you need not only skill but the knowledge and use of the proper equipment. If you're a freshwater fisherman , though the skills are similar the equipment differences mean you'll need some adjustment time to learn the in's and out's of the saltwater fishing gear.
Starting with the basics, you want a good rod. You want one in the middle, not the most expensive and not dirt cheap. The rod will set you back from $100 -200+. The least expensive rod is a mistake from the get go. You'll probably pick up some bad habits and no one will want it for resale when you're ready to move up to the next level.
Next on your list is a good saltwater fishing reel. Salt water is highly corrosive eating at the metal in metal reels. Invest the money in reel with is saltwater corrosion resistant. My choice is graphite and aluminum.
Baitcasting and spinning are the two broad categories of saltwater fishing reels. Baitcasting is better for larger heavier fish, but requires more skill to use effectively. Spinning reels have a stationary spool making them easier to use. Choose the line to fit your reel and the type of fishing you intend to do. If you’re just getting started with saltwater fishing then consider a combo, as the manufacturer mounts the right reel with the right rod.
I'll take some heat on this one, but it's your decision to make your own fly or buy at a local tackle shop. Just choose or make the correct one for the fish you intend to catch. Don't skimp on quality. Fish aren't stupid and won't go for low quality fly.
If you're an experienced freshwater fisherman, you adapt quickly to saltwater fishing with the correct saltwater fishing gear. With the proper gear you’ll enjoy your fishing as you expand your skills to the saltwater. Saltwater fishing gear properly cared for will provide many years of enjoyable fishing.
