I'm looking for an all around rod/reel setup for fluke, stripers, bluefish. I have always used spinning setups and want to make the switch over to conventional/bait casting. I want something with a level wind since this will be my first conventional reel and I figured it would be easier to get used to.

So far I am considering a Lamiglas 7030ct paired with either a Shimano Calcutta 400b or Abu Garcia Chrome Rocket. Lined with 50# power pro. I like the Avet SX from everything I have read but Avet doesn't make any level wind reels.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
