They will set you up with what you need from loading up with spectra to weights. Don't forget a squid jig and Sibuki's for catching bait. One thing they have that I have not seen in any other store that is a must. A short sleeved sweat shirt. Great for cold mornings and evenings for dipping into the bait tank and not coming out with dripping wet long sleeves. Hope you come back a member of the 200 pound club. I proudly have that moniker on the window of my pick up truck. |
Honestly these guys have been doing it for so long they will give you advice on what to and not to buy. I have two heavy duty cow rods being made by Martin and should get them at the end of the month. I don't know how much you intend to spend on terminal tackle. If you are going for variety and have a huge budget, you can go to other places like Noah's, Longfin and pick up stuff. But if you are looking for advice and no nonsense basics go to YO's. Their prices are a buck or two more expensive, I think its because the shop makes a majority of money on custom rods. If you do end up getting into this thing, Martin makes THE TOP NOTCH RODS... He puts his reputation them. Nuff said.
