​Winter months in Pennsylvania can be harsh. Fishing options are taking to the ice or waiting for that "spring-like" day to hit the local trout stream. Your other option is to take your rods to the beach for a new and exciting adventure on the water.

The opportunity to fish for reds in Mexico Beach Florida was to hard to pass up. Only problem was we had no equipment. The Cabelas Salt Striker reel exceeded our expectations. The Salt Striker reel was clearly built to withstand the harsh saltwater environment as it operated flawlessly. The reel landed red fish after red fish with no issues all while taking the abuse day after day of the warm saltwater.
