Top 2012 inshore saltwater fishing rod and reel combos

So you want to get a smooth new inshore saltwater rod and reel combo for the upcoming 2012 fishing season but in this economy you aren’t about to walk in and throw a thousand bucks on the tackle store counter. Penn or Shimano come up with some amazing pro and guide reels this time of the year but few casual anglers can afford them, especially not after you pair them with a strong but flexible inshore rod.

Don’t despair. There are some completely affordable 2012 inshore spinning combos that the top tackle companies are offering at prices that will let you escape that cheap Walmart combo lack-of-quality (and tendency to malfunction or break) but still not empty your bank account.
