All around inshore rod/reel advice

[HDMarc]

I wouldn't suggest a level wind for saltwater use, but that's just me. I would suggest the Avet SX as it's a little powerhouse of a reel and can be used for everything you mentioned. You get used to leveling the line with your thumb real quickly. As far as a rod, you can try a Bogan Fish Poison rod. I have two of them and they're awesome rods for the money.
