| Headed to the beach soon and was just wondering if anyone has used their Tackle Industry rods in saltwater. Do they hold up OK or should I leave it at home? I plan on surf casting for blues and throwing 2-6 oz weights with bait for bottom fishing. |

Location: 15 miles east of Lake Kinkaid | They will work just fine. I have used the 9' MH for pulling BIG snook out from under pilings and it worked well. The rod will handle Blues just fine. In all honesty unless you plan on hooking into 20+lb stripers as well the TI rods are probably more rod than you need. I am planning on bringing several of my TI rods to the Keys this fall. |

| Thats what I figured. Thanks for the feedback. I like having a little more rod than I need just in case something big is hungry. I also have some St. Croix Mojo Inshore rods I plan on using for lighter applications. You fish Lake Kinkaid in IL? I tried ober Christmas last year but got skunked. Only had a john boat and trolling motor with high winds though. Had to stay pretty close to the boat landing.... |

| I will be pairing a T.I. MH with a Daiwa Lexa 300. Think I could throw some of my musky junk for surf fishing? Whopper Ploppers, Pencil Poppers, Swimbaits, Spinners, etc? |
